KISS Collector Pays $5,000 For 1977 Tour Jacket
- Aug. 6, 2004
|
|
The 2004 Classic Rock Auction featuring items from legendary producer Eddie Kramer was officially closed on August 1. "We were overwhelmed with the huge response we received right from the opening minutes," explained Backstage Auctions co-owner Kelli Van Gool. "Out of more than 2200 items condensed into 277 lots listed, we had over 1200 bids and sold 70 percent of the items." Most lots drew a lot of attention and fierce bidding. A BOSTON/ Tom Scholz recording demo sold for nearly $1,700.00, a pair of 1970s David Bowie acetates sold for $1,980.00 and a ROLLING STONES live recording from Canada went for almost $5,000. Not surprising was the aggressive bidding for a 1977 KISS Japan tour jacket, which received over 24 bids alone and finally sold for $4,950.00 to a private collector. The performers with the most bids were, in this order: LED ZEPPELIN, JIMI HENDRIX and KISS. Details of a lot with several LED ZEPPELIN tapes are being kept confidential at the request of the buyer. "It was a long and exciting day," stated Backstage Auctions' Jacques. "We eventually had to force the auction to end or the bidding might still be going on." Although the auction was scheduled to close at 3:00 p.m. EST, it remained open in 15-minute intervals to allow for final bids to come in. However, by 10:30 p.m. EST, two KISS collectors were still competing for several items. Jacques van Gool, a longtime KISS collector and historian himself, happened to know the two customers who were bidding on these items, and finally called them both and asked them to compromise and divide everything up between them. "I was exhausted just watching the two of them go at it," Jacques admitted. "These guys are serious collectors, they'd have stayed up all night fighting over one last item if it was something they really wanted." Results of the 2004 Classic Rock Auction can be found on the web site www.backstageauctions.com. Backstage Auctions will announce their next big auction in the upcoming weeks. "We are exited about the next auction," Kelli said, "and are confident that classic rock fans will be equally excited."

- there's a sucker born every minute.
So, I guess kissrules/stonecold316 had to borrow a LOT of cash from his mom to buy this jacket.
Funny how a JACKET from 1977 is selling better than the current Kiss tour.
Pathetic.

Cactus_Mack "nothing from Kiss should ever be worth that much..."
Oh gee, another hater. Sorry, your life sucks. Hey, if some bozo wants to pay $5000 for a tour jacket that's his business. Don't soil your panties about it.

Good call, dude. kissrules and stonecold had to have broke into their Kiss fund to get the cash for this jacket. If there are two Kiss fans that would be "going at it", it would be these two bozos...HAHAHA!!!
And Varg, you damn right!! Priest would kill Kiss in a face off. I saw them in Nashville at Ozzfest and they ruled everyone there, including Sabbath, IMO.

"I have seen them on tour. In fact- they were the first concert I went to. But Judas Priest kicks the shit out of KISS. Both musically an dstage show. I bet you've never seen Judas Priest. They were fantastic."
Dude put the bong down. I've seen both bands many times. On stage, KISS is a much better live band. I'm not slamming Judas Priest, because I think there great as well.

Chill down!!
Nobody took your money to buy the jacket..or no one is forcing you to read this KISS news..and nobody needs you around here!!
Nobody asked you to start bashing on KISS articles...unless someone is paying your sorry ass to do it!!!!
Because it seems something like that!!!

Dude, what's your fucking problem? I have stated many times that I have no problem with Kiss or Kiss fans. You like them? Fine. People still want to go see them? No problem there either. I simply pointed out that a FUCKING JACKET is obviously more popular than the current Kiss tour. If you have a problem with that that's just too bad. If I give you a hard time it has nothing to do with whether you're a Kiss fan or not. Are we clear?
You say you want to meet me. Why?

This will be my final post to you. The purpose of this site, pretty much anyway, is to discuss music. There is no point in trying to discuss anything with you because, even after tranlating your horrible English into real English, your posts make little or no sense. And regarding your "Stop bashing" crap - the "bashing" you're refering to is exactly what you're doing every time you address me. So I can't "bash", but it's okay when you do? Sorry, Chico - it don't work that way. This is a site where the rest of us express our opinions. If you can't deal with that you really shouldn't be posting hear - because the "bashing" you continually whine about will continue despite your complaints. Either get in the game or go sit on the fucking bench. The choice is yours - but I will not converse with you again no matter which way you go. Why? Because frankly, Paco - you're no longer worth my time.
Have a nice life.
