Quote lo&loud: "I'm going to meet Gemma @ KidsCompany either tomorrow or Wednesday morning (depending on the weather) to pick my items."

Lot 3 - Takamine Guitar - lo&loud - £5,800
Lot 9 - Fender Rhodes piano - lo&loud - £2,505
Lot 10 - Jonny's first pedalboard - lo&loud - £510
Lot 38 - Will's Drum from "Talk" video - lo&loud - £1,850
Lot 52 - Strawberry Swing Outfit - lo&loud - £6,100

CONGRATULATIONS! I can see that you "won" quite a lot of awesome iconic items - among which the Strawberry Swing Outfit - the only item I could be really interested in (so take good care of it - but of course you will).

I wish for you that there will be a surprise waiting for you when picking up these items since you paid quite a lot for these items and to CHARITY. YOU DESERVE IT!

For all of the US winners, do you know how the duty and import taxes will work once it's shipped?

On 23-Dec-09 at 12:52:16 GMT, seller added the following information:
PLEASE NOTE: All lithographs have already been signed by the band (the picture was taken before the signatures were added). Buyers from outside the EU will be responsible for any applicable import duties and taxes when this item arrives in their country. Please check with your local customs & excise office.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think that is something that would be declared on your year-end income tax return. I plan to get my taxes done later this month, so I'm going to ask the preparer to be sure. If that is the case, I'm not sure if that would go on the 2009 tax return since the transaction occurred in December, or if it would go on the 2010 tax return since it won't be shipped (and a lot of us didn't pay for the item) until January. I'll post something later this month or early next month when I find out the answer from the "expert".

I like how people are marking their territory/winnings in the siggys! I kind of made one last week, but I've been debating posting it because what I made is a little snarky...

And I really love TexasluvsJonny's, with the 'mine mine' Finding Nemo seagulls. Adorable!

Hmmm, maybe I'll just change my avatar for a few days...

I did have to check with Rick as to whether he was referring to the bass or Guy

Come on, what it REALLY should say is "MINE, Afeather!"

It's just such a really friggin' cool color!! Makes me want to play really bad hair music, which is why it's funny to see it played in the "Shiver" video.

NumbersGirl: own it because technically you do...use your new signature. We couldn't pick each other out of police lineups at the moment (which is great for when I head on over to the land down under...) but that hasn't kept me from telling everyone I know about your new desk accessory. Your earlier comment relating it to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon & equating it to being one of the first tangible pieces of music memorabilia was so spot on that I felt like I must share it with anyone willing to listen.

Or not, but were by force.

TexasLuvsJonny: Agreed, love the use of the Nemo birds. Your signatures always seem to be very creative!

I can pick 3 of you out

BUT someone is being rather elusive with his identity, even though he knows mine and is stalking me

Sirhc · 13-01-2010, 09:38 AM

I still haven't heard a word...

I'm really worried that my 1000 euros will be just... Gone
