So kenny sold his record for like, what Andy? $1700? I looked up how Don Raleigh's sold- a steal at $500 (a less-popular Zipper, i suppose. Plus, all the insane people who would pay over $1000 for a gold record have one!) Now another's up for sale. It's for "hot" and it's being sold by former Mammoth employee and Super Zipper Friend taylor Mayo. he doesn't specify who it's for...i'm guessing it probably has "Taylor Mayo" on it. I emailed him. Kenny said he told Don to sell his, and he probably told Taylor to sell his too. It's good to know that over $1500 went to charity on that. I looked at some old sales of gold records. they generally go for $50-200. But the ones i saw were like, Elvis and Kiss and stuff-- easy to reproduce, sell, and even if they're original, they've got to be a dime a dozen. Anyway, that's all i have to say. Taylor's is at $50 right now, so if someone here really wants it, and they don't have the $$, ask someone to buy it for you for Christmas (or whatever you celebrate, ya know)! Oh, but don't ask me. i'm po'.

It had no photo, no glowing description like Ken wrote... he sold the thing with his writing. Whoever listed Don's record (if he didnt do it himself) had no idea how to go about it. I notice no bids on the current one either which starts at $50. You'd think Rosie and the boys from St. Louis would want another crack at it :-) >Kenny said he told Don to sell his, and he probably told Taylor to sell his >too. It's good to know that over $1500 went to charity on that. The charity money was the overage from Ken's sale of the Neumann mike (which went for $1726, one dollar more than the gold) and the gold record, over the price of the Les Paul Jr. None of the others have generated any bids... >I looked at some old sales of gold records. they generally go for $50-200. >But the ones i saw were like, Elvis and Kiss and stuff-- easy to reproduce, >sell, and even if they're original, they've got to be a dime a dozen. I would think older originals would be worth more - I can tell you this thing would not be _too_ hard to reproduce... but who's to know if you don't have a recent one to compare to? The thing is lightweight (plexiglas, not glass) which means I don't have to worry about it ever falling off the wall and smashing itself! Ken also autographed it and wrote a note in silver paint on the back (it's black on the back) which makes it even more valuable... right? :-) Still the coolest thing was... well, I can't say... ;-) Andy ------------------------------ End of the-landing-digest V2 #247 *********************************
