I saw Jimi's burned guitar from the Monterey Festival go for over $150K on Ebay. I'd be very weary to bid on something like that for that much money - very crazy.
I did bid on a signed TOOL poster by Maynard from a show I saw in Oklahoma - pretty sweet since I was at the show. I think I only paid $30. I don't know if you'd call it memorabilia yet - but hopefully one day - haha
That's pretty cool...
If I had the spare cash, I would totally try for it. What music fan wouldn't want a piece of bonafide music history.
Personally, I've never bid on-line for any of my memorabilia, it's all been acquired first hand :)
