Iron Maiden Expensive Guitar

I had a story on an Iron Maiden charity auction.  The Guitar was a Les Paul Black beauty with Gold hardware signed by all of Iron Maiden. 
It was for Childline (http://www.childline.org.uk/)
and Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy (http://www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk/)

Watch the video of the story below.



Update on the video.  The guitar cost $1,300 new.  Initially the the Guitar was at £56K and the a week later it went to £120K.  The very next the bid was down to £16,000.  The other bids were fake.

The guitar finally sold at under £17,000.  It was then announced that this bid was also fake and the guitar was not sold at all.  The guitar was reauctioned from Monday 15th to Wednesday 17th February.  They stated that bidding on it was a contract to buy.
It finally went for £2,525.00 to trooper799 .  Or US$3,900 or 2,900 euro.  Hell of comedown from the expected price.

A Flight 666 platinum disc and a band-signed Flight 666 poster also raised over £2700 for Childline and Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy.  These auctions went without a hitch.

Rod Smallwood also contributed to the charities by doing a sponsored cycle of Egpyt and raised money on

He raised a massive £77,300 and you can still give money there now.
Everything went well except for the guitar.

Back today

Back today from my trip.  I was in Poland in Europe for a few days.  Fairly quiet, was visiting family.   Didn't get a chance to play any guitar music for a few days so missed that. 

Also haven't wrote any new material while I was there but I did  read a few books and jotted down some ideas.  So watch out, I'll posting some stuff tomorrow and in the next few days.

Seeya,
Steve.
