NuGNR auctioning off old clothes dryer!!


BBA

Recommended Posts

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.

i want that fucking dryer even more badly than i wanted that scented candle.

but here's what bothers me about it... they don't promise it works. they merely state that it worked before it was put in storage years ago. so why not plug it in and give it a try before you sell it? seems like a pretty easy and respectful thing to do, considering they're expecting someone to pay a hundred bucks plus several times that in shipping. seems like something that literally any other person would do with an appliance before trying to sell it. but i guess team brasil thinks that we should buy something just because it has the official gnr name associated with it, regardless of whether or not it actually works. and they're so confident in this belief that they're unwilling to put in the 1 minute of work necessary to check it.

Ashba is selling cars, Gn'R are selling clothes dryers... apparently the only thing they don't want to sell is music :rofl-lol:

When I read the title "guns n roses auctioning off old clothes dryer" I immediately thought oh good, finally Axls firing Beta.

You too are both responsible for me looking like an idiot laughing to myself in the school library. :lol:
