aricandover Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 obvioulsy they got it signed, so they could turn around and make some cash. pretty shitty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I don't think that sort of deal should be posted here. I don't know why they sign guitars - it's a scam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah, some folks posted a bit about it in the thread for that show. The Wilcos are just too trusting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco Worshipper Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I went to see what the hub-bub was about and it seems as tho the listing has been "flagged for removal". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andshewas Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah, what was it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halsey12 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I don't like junk guitars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah, what was it? An Epiphone acoustic guitar signed by Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I hate when people do that. The guys in Wilco are nice enough to sign things for people, and when they go around and sell those...so annoying. My ticket-stub signed by Jeff is framed, and staying within this household!

laurie Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 We got a drum head last year in VT signed by the band and we naturally would never part with it. It has a special place in our living room so our non-Wilco friends can say WTF is that? We saw folks after the next show in Toronto and the guy who gave it to us asked if we were going to sell it on e-bay and we were naturally very adament that we would NEVER do such a thing. Thank you WILCOs! It was really nice of them to give it to us I think they noticed we were at a few shows in that tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VenusStopsTrain2 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'd love a drum head as well as a pair of sticks for my wall collection. That would look awesome with my tickets to their shows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I sold a signed poster but only because I didn't get it signed in person (contest winnings) and already have in-person signed stuff. I hated to let it go, but I was strapped for Christmas cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigWheeledWagon Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I sold a signed poster but only because I didn't get it signed in person (contest winnings) and already have in-person signed stuff. I hated to let it go, but I was strapped for Christmas cash. I don't think anyone would fault you for that -- it's the folks who pose as Wilco fans to get autographs from the band and then turn around and profit from the band's kindness that aggravate people around here.

Drazil Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 When one buys autographed crap off ebay, craigs list, etc, how do they know that it's the actual autograph? I've alway wondered that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 There are a lot of fakes - I would not mess with such things. I saw a Marc Bolan signed guitar on Ebay once - the guitar was a new - so therefore, there is no way he could have signed it - unless he came back from the dead to do it.

tugmoose Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I could never get buying autographs. To me the point of the autograph is the story of the personal encounter that goes with it. Now, I did get a signed wilco poster for a Katrina contribution and a DBT poster for a tsunami contribution, which gives me the opportunity to show off what a good guy I am. But why would you want to have a framed jersey or a signed guitar mounted on your wall if all's you can say is "I bought that on Craigslist." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oceanman Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 My dad got me a signed Jerry Garcia print when I broke my arm, and in broken I mean 9 screws 3 pins and a plate. I never met Jerry but I can say that my father is a pretty nice cat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 yeah, in nashville there was a group of guys basically sitting at the stage door waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting Wilcos as they came out the door. they were having them sign stuff and taking pictures while they were signing, jeff asked if they were gonna put it on ebay or if they worked for a dealer and the guys were like "no.." i was gonna say something about it when they were doing it, but i didn't think it was my palce. it made me so mad though... i have a ton of signed stuff from wilco and a couple other bands, and all of it is so special. i think the coolest thing though is that starbucks display... (thanks oceanman!!) it really is cool to look at the stuff. i have 3 wilco guitar pics too. 2 nels and one of jeff's signature ones. i wish there was a way i could make them in necklaces without destroying them....

Gobias Industries Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I had my March 2005 Guitar Player (Nels on the cover) signed by Nels at a solo show. I remember when I asked him to sign it he was like "oh, haven't seen that in awhile" and signed it. Glenn also signed my copy of Mobile. I'll never ever sell them.

caliber66 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Why was the item flagged for removal? It's not illegal to sell autographed stuff, is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Why was the item flagged for removal? It's not illegal to sell autographed stuff, is it?Craigslist is moderated by the community at large. If enough people flag it, it gets booted. The link got posted on VC. Draw your own conclusions.
