Just the vintage 70's guitars & the vinyl in this collection would sell for a small fortune, never mind the old shirts, posters & promo stuff hand made/screened by Glenn!

Only negative is that hes selling it as a lot. You take it all or nothing. That will save on delivery issues & time for shipping, but it will cut his profit a lot I think.

neither one of those links even open for me. PDF takes forever and the website is just a misfits logo

are you on a mobile device? I couldnt get them to open on my phone, but they are both working on my computer. The PDF is a huge file, its 38mb of pictures but it is opening on my pc.

Jason the Magnificent - 9-12-2011 at 08:37 AM

I'm on my desktop at work.

Same here.

XHonusWagnerX - 9-12-2011 at 02:34 PM

I dont get it... sorry guys.
Maybe BD can figure out why the links are not working for anyone but me. :(

BDx13 - 9-12-2011 at 02:41 PM

the links work fine, but the grimmsmisfitsauction.com site seems jacked (nothing's loading other than a logo) and the PDF appears to be pretty massive and takes a while to load.

Jason the Magnificent - 9-12-2011 at 03:24 PM

The site actually works...it's just that you have to scroll right....and then the text is like 6" tall on the screen. How are they even handling the auction on this debacle? Private channels/email?

its an email thing. He runs a Misfits auction every year and its all by email. When you get outbid you get an email update and can bid again.

The biggest negative about this is that its 1 lot of stuff. No one wants ALL that stuff so it will just be bought by someone rich and chopped up and resold.


XHonusWagnerX - 9-12-2011 at 04:18 PM

man I dont get it. The Grimms site opens fine for me. Its a big Misfits logo and then an explination of the auction, then 1 photo and a list of items.

Jason the Magnificent - 9-12-2011 at 04:24 PM

So he sends you an email "telling" you that you got outbid? That doesn't sound like it could be manipulated at all....

necrobutcher - 9-12-2011 at 07:49 PM

The website opened for me but I don't have Adobe at this time.

My god, that has to be one of the worst formatted websites I have ever seen. It reminds me of the geocities/angelfire pages from 10+ years ago that every small punk band seemed to have.
