THE END OF DECADE CLEAROUT SALE
Hello again. Over the past ten years, Coldplay have accumulated a lot of
instruments and memorabilia. From today (December 18) until December 31,
the band have decided to auction many of them on eBay. All items will
either be signed by all four members, or accompanied by a certificate of
authenticity, again signed by the band. Please click below for full info
(including details of limited bargain Buy Now offers), and to download your
free 52-page catalogue. All proceeds will go to an amazing charity, Kids
Company, which helps vulnerable children in London.

That's the link to the catalogue itself. I know there's a lot of Coldplay haters around here (I think they're awesome personally) but you all have to admit this is pretty cool.

Just about to mention this. Sounds really neat; haven't looked at any of the current bids, but I can only imagine.

There's some real quality instruments up for grabs here that even without the connection to Coldplay would cost an arm and a leg (fender rhodes for one).

Yeah, I just looked at the catalogue, and

Oh. my. god. They are giving up so much. I thought it was going to be one or two instruments from each era. Even to have one of those lithographs would be cool, or the Viva jackets!

EDIT

Matt, or someone: can you post the link to the coldplaykidscoauction page. I cannot find it or figure out how to search for sellers... :oops:

Definitely less than intuitive in finding it. So far Chris Martin's first guitar is in the lead at £4,600.00 and 47 bids. Not too shabby...
