Underworld Ultimate Collection For Sale

[big screen satellite]

This is your chance to buy any of those missing bits from your collection of Underworld items from THE Ultimate Collection, mine.

please don't question me why this is happening, but i am selling all of my Underworld items, every single one of them

here's how its going to happen:

you want something (and bear in mind i basically have everything) private message (pm) me and make me a genuine offer

if the offer is reasonable enough i will accept it and let you know, if not i will wait for two weeks until Monday 16th April, by which point i will probably start selling it on ebay

please don't offer trades because i don't want anything

secondly - i will have to add postage to the costs but these will be reasonable cost of packing and postage rates, bearing in mind some items are rare and valuble you will want them sent properly

also - the only method of payment i will be taking for these items is paypal - if you don't have an account - i will accept cheque from UK based dirts, but prefer paypal, and anyone else if you don't have an account - i am sorry, but you will need to negotiate with someone who does....

remember i have almost everything in every format, from vinyl, cd, t-shirts and a whole lot more... i will not list anything today but i will highlight some of the gems in the week

again please don't ask me why i need to do this but its happening and its your good fortune i suppose, i'm not looking to make mega bucks on everything, but somethings have a worth and i will only sell certain items at the right price... so serious genuine offers but i'm not holding out for a fortune, and the more you buy the likelihood i'll discount

please pm if you want anything - and pm is the only method of communication i will acccept on this matter

matt

(one final thing - this sale is not for the entire collection in one lot, its any part of the collection you want - i am selling it bit by bit - NOT as a whole - unless someone can afford the whole lot at a decent price!!!)

again later this week i will highlight some items and perhaps put a guide price on the real gems...

[King of Snake]

damn man. Can't believe you're really doing this :(

[Icke]

WTF :eek:

That's pretty shocking.

[cheshkat]

oh wow :( I'm sorry you're parting with all this, I hope it goes to good homes.

[stimpee]

Matt, i know you got some press a few years ago in Muzik mag... maybe you can get some MORE press on this selling thing...

[click]

I hope all is well or that all will soon be well with you.

[BeautifulBurnout]

Matteus. I'm dumbstruck (and you better make a note of the date cos it doesn't happen very often in a year.)

I will PM you after I have looked at my bank balance. Yeah. Blimey mate. :(

[lloyd]

Omg
.....10

[potatobroth]

ok, ill ask. WHY?

[big screen satellite]

ok here's the short answer - its not something i really want to do, but its a personal matter that i won't really divulge at the moment...

its not certainly not about making lots of money from it (although i'd like to get something back - but i'm not looking for profit)

but at this point in time i need to shed a few things and one to go is this collection...

[Flywaver]

Bloody hell mate.I guess she who must be obeyed said enough is enough!
Sorry if it sounds like i am speculating but the ladies i have known say what they think! LOL
My other half likes to moan about my passion for the Star Wars franchise and she has never seen the movies! So if i ever start collecting and it takes over the house it would probaly end up in the bin.
There must be rehab for Underworld addiction! ;)

[joethelion]

well - I hope everyone in you family is doing ok

but I've also got to say... wow

I mean... it's like what do you ask for from the guy who has everything

[Jason Roth]

I want the doc martens

[crank]

How about the boys in Underworld? I bet they'd take some of your stuff off of you as I'm sure they don't have it all...

craNK.

[BrotherLovesDub]

Matt,

Please contact me privately. I'm not sure what's happening but we can figure out another way to deal with this.

[Techno_Bunny]

Shock

shock

shock

Matt, this must be hurting like hell. Let me know if there's anything we can do.
hug

[patrick]

maybe Matt plans to switch to New Order stuff finally?


i'm sorry, shouldn't have joked, but this sounds awful.

[TheBang]

No!!!! Numberonesuperfan no more? :(

[Ufotofu]

Wow, you truly do have a lot of stuff. I'm itching to get the Dark & Long EP from you, but I'll pass.

[big screen satellite]

ok guys...

thanks so much for kind words and everything, but this is truly happening, the reason, mainly, i have said is personal...

ok I will appreaciate the bit of cash it brings in, but its much more than that:

because of whats happened and where i am right now in my life, is that i'm sat here with a ton of records and cds, of which i can't remember the last time i physically played, some of which i have in 10 formats (of the same album!!!), a box of t-shirts, posters, magazines, everything, as you know, and because of the situation i am now in have come to realise that there is much more important things in my life right now... mainly my daughter and hence this and other clear outs and changes i need to make - no one but me is making me do this, it is the result of something greater (and sader really), but its not being forced upon me - its a decision i have come to and there is NO going back...

anyhow i will still be here on this forum, i will still buy the new product / album, still go out on the UK leg of the next tour (if it happens in the UK). i have everything backed up in mp3 format (something by UW, of which, i do still play every day), and i still love you all... you are all still what i consider to be as friends

i'm gonna catalogue in detail everything photographically as i sell it, because one day i might still write my book... and it'll prove to the doubters who was the superfan,

but above all i will still be the number one super fan...

i'm here but may be lurking for a bit, except with this thread, as i'll update you on the current offers and gems i have that i might want to point you too...


happy hunting,

Matt

[mmm skyscraper]

At least you are selling it and not turning it into a Turner Prize winning destruction-fest

[myrrh]

I have come to realise that there is much more important things in my life right now...

Unfortunately, not enough people ever realise this.

Life is more than a collection of paper and plastic.

[big screen satellite]

rather than reply to everyone individually who has pm'd so far on this collecton, i will answer some questions here...

firstly, i will, on Monday 16th April list the current top price on each item 'dibbed' on....

secondly, i will give it a day to see if anyone wants to up the 'bid', and by tuesday anything with a 'decent' price will be sold to the highest bidder, i think this is the fairest way - because a few people want the hump and mmm skyscraper CD (for example)... and well if someone here as a fan is willing to pay X for it it saves me money listing it on ebay

(i will give a guide price of what i think is fair tomorrow on a few bits)

(i have also put a couple of items by for people who asked prior to this ever happening for a couple of things should i be willing to let them go, and these are safe )

Anything not claimed after the 16th will be listed here on one page with a set price and its first come first served - these i assume will be the basic items but i have shit loads of stuff an although most people are requesting the obvious rarities (and at decent ball park prices) - i do have even more 'rare' general items which i'll highlight tomorrow if i have time, so you can claim them

a couple of things i don't really, Tomato Anti Roms...!!! eeek - so please don't ask about them, i am not selling my Underworld Trainers nor the STITI Screen Print Artwork

i will not sell any live stuff other than what was commercially available... (EE, Tokyo etc)

i will not be copying anything for anyone, its a sale of genuine original materials (although i have lots of dodgy bootleg vinyls as well - up for grabs)

if you have any questions about what i might have either pm me or ask it here, but any 'bids' / 'offers' must be made via the pm route

finally my discography does have some images of a lot of things but i don't really have the time to photograph anything as requests but will try and answer any general qestions here about the items for sale

as things are sold i'll be capturing their image for historical purposes...

one thing no one has bid on currently - is this:

http://www.bigscreensatellite.co.uk/confusion.htm

if more than one other copy exists Darren Emerson probably has the other, so this is my rarest item and i won't take less than £100 for it...

anyway

i'll be back tomorrow detailing a few gems - but keep thinking about what you want and need and i'll let it go at reasonable prices to the real fans...

Matt

[joethelion]

so... let me see if I understand this...

on the 16th, we'll be told what's the highest bid
then on the 17th - my birthday, btw will be the last - 'free-for-all'?

or is it like - if you had the highest bid on the 16th, you're "locked in" and only 'unbidded' upon stuff will be up for grabs?

I just want to make absolutely certain, as there's a few things that I pm-ed you about that I absolutely must get my grubby mitts on

I would've asked about "Confusion" but I figured it wouldn't be for sale

(edit)
what about posters and the like?

also - did you know which cassette version of BF I was talking about?

[big screen satellite]

right i'm gonna change the whole sell off structure -

give me a chance to check all of the 'i want this' pm's and i'll come back tomorrow with what has already gone and to whom if, i am happy with the offers...

if not or i think i can get a bit more i will list the items requested at the current offer price (but not the bidder) and by the end of the day, if no one has offered me more i may sell to that person who originally offered what they did or put down a price i'd like for it... (and i might put a guide price down to what i expect for it)

after that i will gradually list whats left (which will be loads of stuff) at a set price and the first pm i get saying i want X at £x gets it...

thats probably the fairest way, so later in the week i'll probably set list some stuff and even then i'm probably gonna be open to offers...

i'll keep you posted but keep your offers coming...

[TheBang]

a couple of things i don't really, Tomato Anti Roms...!!! eeek - so please don't ask about them
There seems to be a word missing in this sentence. Are you saying you don't have the Tomato Anti-roms?

[joethelion]

ok - so I still have a chance then... at obtaining what I asked for, even though I didn't actually properly 'bid'

I think there's like 3-4 of the 8-10 that I pm-ed you about that I am absolutely frothing at the mouth for

[big screen satellite]

There seems to be a word missing in this sentence. Are you saying you don't have the Tomato Anti-roms?

yeah i don't have these sorry bad typing...

[Techno_Bunny]

Although there are precious on your list, and because they are so precious, i am not going to bid on any of them, because i truely feel you should wait at least a couple of weeks before you make any major decisions (and this is major) or do such a drastical thing. Pain is never a good advisor.

I would feel like a vulture if i would bid on any single item now, at this moment, when so much is going on.

I am so sorry you are going through such a horrible time Matt, but please don't sell your collection, not right now.

[big screen satellite]

for my entire collection download this MS Word file from mega - it contains everything i have by Underworld / JBO / Underwater and related stuff - some are pretty tenious links but everything here is for sale (except a couple of items i'm holding back)

this is what i have...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PUT4BIUQ

so check it out and pick your items

[kid cue]

hope you're doing ok matt

[Techno_Bunny]

this is one of the saddest days in the history of dirtyforums, you were OUR collector Matt!

[futureLo]

i have envied your collection for quite some time, i'm trying to narrow things down to just an item or two of what you've got that i like. i hope that you find what you're looking for by parting with the collection, and know that all of us are just as eager to treasure and behold these things, just as you've done for so long. :)

[Jafs]

this is a shame you decide to sell all your stuff, but the reasons are true...



a couple of things i don't really, Tomato Anti Roms...!!! eeek - so please don't ask about them, i am not selling my Underworld Trainers nor the STITI Screen Print Artwork

are you talking about the Stiti poster ? It was THE item I was thinking to ask you for :D

[ndrwrld]

BSS, please clean your box.

[big screen satellite]

will do (its full of requests) - but in the meantime email me if you want to ask for anything....

[suicidalpenguin]

Fraid i can't partake in purchase related frenzy that is occurring :(

but good luck with everything matt & hope you sort your situation out.

[big screen satellite]

^^^

i appreciate that thought, but please everyone don't feel bad about this it is happening and if not here it will go on ebay

i'd rather the 'number two' fans got hold of this stuff rather than just anybody

so please don't feel bad about it because its taking place

[Flywaver]

Now BSS i really think you need to chill for a while maybe have a break from this site. I may just pop to Brighton and say OI..BIG SCREEN SATELITE...NOOOOO!!!! As much as i believe that life is too short i think you should maybe hide away your collection out of sight for a while.
You are doing this way too quick mate. I bet if you say this to the rest of your family they would think the same. Now listen fella my Dark train knows its way to the coast and i think you need a wake up call. Just chill ;)

hahah i know it may seem like it, but seriously its making me feel good, and i'm gonna put the money to good use too... me and my little girl are gonna plan a trip with the proceeds for sure....

don't tell BLD but he may be getting a visit from us sooner than he thinks...

seriously i have thought about this, i know i might have other things on my mind as well but i'm actually enjoying reviving the collection here and engaging with you lot about it... it'll never all go anyway and i am holding on to some things, and owning the most UW 'stuff' really makes me no more important than anyone else... my time at the top has come, i'm passing on my mantle and little issy (isabelle) my girl is my number one now...

its all good really - i promise you...

i again apprecaite everyone's comments and good vibes, but things must go...

love and peace to you all

Matt

[ndrwrld]

im so pissed off right now.
my gf bought for me the UW red poster , Forest Vorst , Belgium, may 99'.
paid $18 EUR.
just arrived in a cardboard tube...with a huge bend in the middle.
took poster out...severe kinks in it.
SEVERE.
the red is now badly distorted, and now whitened due to the bends and kinks.
FUCK.

so...how much for YOUR red Forest Vorst belgium 99' poster ?

[negative1]

hey matt,

i guess i'm going to find out how it feels also (someday)..

i kept talking about selling my stuff off too..
don't know when, or where..

but it's getting closer.

we really do need to collaborate on that future
book, or even finish working on some underworld
music collections..

i've just started a new job, and moved up to the
east coast of the US... i haven't settled in yet..
(no computer or internet, i'm using a friends computer)..

but it was always fun talking about new stuff,
and collectibles wasn't it?

hope you're doing well, and hope to talk to you
soon (looks like there's a few more things i wouldn't
mind hearing if they're not gone yet)..

peace..

later
