Okay, first item in the entire auction, a cardboard replica of Uncle Dick. Current bid? $450.00! 

I've got no business going any further.

it's even crazier when you consider there's 28% buyer premium on top of these prices! With that it's a $600 item!!!

You know, with inflation the way it is $450 could be the new $350.

Who's bidding on the  leather trench coat peed on by Nikki Six?

when Walter Becker passed a few yrs back, they auctioned off his tools of the trade.  I bid, conservatively on a few guitars and amps.  I watched the bids climb to where it was not reasonable, and just passed on everything.  The extra 28% was calculated into every bid I made, and the outrageous shipping too.  It looks like a great idea, till you pay double or more what any of it is worth.

Happy Bidding

When I first looked at it, the bid was HFC-approved $350. I even took a screenshot with the intent to post about it, but I got distracted and forgot. Thanks for reminding me!

I have a feeling that with Rick's current health situation he has decided to unload a whole bunch of gear instead of leaving his family to have to deal with it.

The prices are insane and there's a lot of time left.

The two "You know you like it" Sunbursts would be nice, but the prices are going too high for most people.  

You have to wonder how many of those guitars are going to be up for sale in a month.
