Holy shit....it closed for $2025!!!  I have a few signed things by the whole band.  I have a signed guitar, a copy of Ten Imaginary Years (including Porl, Lol, and Boris!), and autographed press photo, and a copy of the Cure CD signed on the front booklet. 

At the rate that the DVD sold for, I could put a down payment on a house if I sold my stuff!

Can't sell the guitar.  It was a gift from my wife!

Have alook at this:

You could report it. I don't know if anything will be done. But. it wouldn't hurt to try.

actually i think you hit the nail on the head: now who'd want a man when one can have a guitar? :-D
i mean it!  :lol:

@jeff: i think you (or we all) should report it, whatever it's worth. because it's not cool. :smth011

(but some really nutcase prices some people are prepared to pay for signed items, $2000+... i once watched a complete(!) official KMKMKM first aid box (in mint condition) being sold on ebay and even that went "only" around $1200, if memory serves.
i never really got it, why people pay for signatures/signed items. i've always thought they only really mean something if you've asked it to be signed yourself, in person. if you were there yourself... and even then, personally i've never been into signature hunting at all.)

Okay, so let's all bid mad amounts & then if we win it, we just tell the guy to take a hike.
Done this before with Sisters stuff on e bay that was made by someone who shared freely in the sisters community & ....ooops, it popped up on ebay a week later.

After I met the band, I posted a bunch of pics on my site.  Below are some others.  Notice that the pic has been removed!

Listen....I do enough on my own.  Like tonight.  I was on my way home from a hockey tournament and got pulled over by the cops for speeding.  23 mph over the speed limit (I have a heavy foot).  Needless to say she is not amused right now.

J :  contacted ebay seller- his excuse was that he got the signed CD and it came WITH your photo from a "friend" of his, giving it to someone else's blame, he said to "ask" Robert personally if he signed it... he accepted retraction of my bid ( only small anyway) cos he really can't prove authentication...
thanx for the help! :D
