BBA Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Life is sweaty for a road-doggin', arena-crushing, bandana-sporting group of hard rockers like Guns N' Roses. At least, it was. The band is currently auctioning off a bunch of old, random gear via eBay and included in the bounty is — wait for it — a clothes dryer..As the AV Club helpfully tells us, it's a W-10 Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care Electric to be exact, and it comes in a GN'R-stenciled road case that's got a hole punched out where the venting duct would go. So yes, that means you can use the machine without removing it from its fancy rock'n'roll house..And think how fancy and rock'n'roll your house can be with this compact and functional (well, no promises there — buyer beware) addition! Bidding starts at a measly $99, although shipping for this 278-pounder will be the winner's responsibility.The seller's explanation: "To make room for new stuff, Guns N' Roses touring crew recently went through the band's warehouse and cleared out a bunch of gear, equipment and props the band no longer need. ... A number of items such as amplifiers, keyboards, rack/outboard gear, guitar effects, pedal boards, staging, props, backdrops and road cases will be listed over the next few weeks."Per the band's official site, the auction is legit. Still, "We cannot accommodate any requests to have items autographed and no certificate of authenticity will be included." It's also unclear whether the dryer dates back to the Guns N' Roses or has only been used in the post-Slash era. Based on Axl's well-documented distaste for his onetime bandmate, we're going to assume he tossed the old clothes dryer a long time ago.But props, you say? This could get interesting.http://www.spin.com/#articles/guns-n-roses-auction-off-old-clothes-dryer Edited September 5, 2012 by bringbackadler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl_on_drums Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The lack of interest in that auction pretty much proves that not everybody wants a bunch of old crap just because a famous band used it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that's the problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're one of those Americans who thinks the U.S. is the center of the galaxy and Guns n Roses' fame only matters when it comes to the U.S. Got it. By all means, let's talk about the concert numbers, album sales numbers, and famousness of Guns in the South American continent.

As for the rest... what's the alternative, throwing it out? When my folks renovated, I put the stupidest shit up on ebay just to see if people would take it off our hands... I literally made a few grand selling crap like old furniture, some massive glass panels from a sunroom, hell, I even sold these 2 sets of little homemade wooden steps that were going to the dump... for $30 each. Heaps of bands auction off surplus touring gear like this. It's a fun way for fans to grab some weird collectibles... Why wouldn't you try and make some cash off your trash, rather than just throwing the lot?

phaeryen Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 wouldnt mind getting some of that stuff if I had the money. not the clothes dryer but other things like the mixing desk and its roadcase and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Famous Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I was actually going to bid on it the first time it was listed, but didn't feel like paying the shipping costs at the time. The road case alone is worth that amount.HV - I was also thinking about picking up those drives hah. There might be a few things I end up picking up from the auctions.
