Underworld Things : Selling

[Mike]

Hey everyone,

Its time to 'Do A Matt' and start to sell off my UW collection.. in part, anyway.

I am going to write out a nice list of stuff and post it here in the next couple of days.

Back in 2002, everyone took pics of their collection and here was mine:

http://mike.rowla.com/mikestuff.jpg

There are many other additions to that since then, including some signed stuff...

Im NOT selling any Tomato books or ROMS, and there are 1 or 2 things i am going to hang on to (such as the dirty epic CD promo, kiteless and footwear vhs).

But if you want to make me a sensible offer for anything you see in the pic, please PM me or email mike@rowla.com and i will consider it. Im not absolutly desperate to get rid of this stuff straight away, but basically, if the offer outweighs my sentiment, then its yours hehe :)

Bye for now!

Mike

[qirex]

prolly not my size anyway.

oh god we need dirty t-shirts again so bad.

i don't know.... some people are able to let go of
their 'treasure's out of necessity - see matt's sale...

others, cling to their goodies, with their fingers
clutched in a deathgrip, that never releases..

which one are you?

i already have the mother earth 12", so unless
someone offers you a small fortune for it.... would
you give it up?

someday, i too will face this choice.. [note: take
that with a grain of salt, i've been saying that since
i got tired of music (*again*) in 2001].....

Its interesting... ive never really been that bothered about 12" releases, i suppose its just because ive never played them... In fact, STITI is worth more to me because of the amazing artwork in a 12" format...

I got ME / The Hump for £20 from a guy in Sheffield after buying a King of Snake promo.. i just asked him if he had anything else by underworld, and he said he had it. I would never have paid loads for it, i guess im not the number 1 superfan!

Having said that, i wouldn't sell it for £20... the sentiment of being only one of a few owners of this is high.. but if someone made an offer i couldnt refuse, then i guess i would consider selling it..

About the dirty t-shirts:

They are size L

I have had quite a few requests / questions about these.. i think im gonna stick them on ebay, to be fair because so many people want them!

Thirty squid for the armchair.

[Mike]

There is a history to the armchair.

Its the chair that Karl and Rick first made love.

[big screen satellite]

haha

nice one

btw i still have loads and loads of stuff left (not boasting) but a lot more than Mike still - (it takes ages to 'get rid of')

i'll try and let people know what else i have left (a lot is listed at discogs) (http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?seller=mattval1)

but despite what people say sometimes you need to do these things

its over a year down the line and i don't regret selling anything (even the Hump!)

its just stuff - life is more important

(i have the music still, and the memories!)

[crazysugarboy]

its just stuff - life is more important


Nooo! Life is important, yes, but so is stuff. Keep it all, catalogue it, buy archival boxes, sleeves, wrapping material etc, box the cds, place the printed ephemera in inert melinex transparent sleeves, wrap the T's in acid-free material, and every 3 months display a selection of your collection in your lounge in sealed glass cases at 55% relative hunidity, 18-20 degress celsius, and with a light level no more than 50 lux.

(Needless to say, I work in the conservation department of the 2nd biggest library in the UK)

BAAaaaHaaaaHaa!
That's funny.
Was it their first time together on that chair or their first threesome with a chair? If it was a Rick+Karl+Chair threesome, I'll throw in another 50 for it.;)

Seriously, good collection. I'll be sending you a PM.

haha

yeah,
but that stuff IS my life...

what else is important?
i don't have a family/kids/etc....or anyone
to share any of it with..

just the dirtyboard..

so thats why the 'stuff' is so much more important
than life.... to me anyways..

well when you do have life changing priorities - you end up thinking differently - well i did... i was like that before - UW was my life, now my life has changed, and uw and music and stuff are secondary...

i'm still here on the board, still have some stuff, but its not the number one thing for me now, its just a hobby rather than my life... and i'm much happier, (and have money for other things!)

[BrotherLovesDub]

Mike, i want the Dogmangowoof CD single.

i think you should change your heading from 'still number 1' to
'possibly number 2'....ha ha..

and i'm not even close by the way, i think i'm actually less of
a fan now..more like number 42...something like that..

my vote goes to
1 'theBang' followed by
2 'lloyd'
.....
3 you...

'yannick' has fallen off
the map, along with 'scott', and of course 'graham'.....

but im going to wait and see if i'm even in the running by the end of it.

[Caprice]

(I have nothing compared to this man)

All the big collectors of Underworld should donate it all towards a museum, dedicated to Underworld. Honestly,





honestly,


Maybe in a little house, convert that into a museum and call it Footwear Repair Tomato Land: where all your dreams resonate



just an idea, selling such treasures is just, idk, i cant say

[dubman]

the real solution is for us to start selling shirts again since dirty.org is defunct.

[Mike]

It cant be that defunct for someone to still want to pay £20 for it! :)

well part of it was satisfaction ;)
i came in here during the "get these while they're hot" sale and i'm sitting there going "eh?"
then they went
then a year later i really wanted one. i still really want one. that brown one will be mine someday....
and yea it's a bit of a bummer that if anyone goes to dirty.org theyre going somewhere they shouldnt, but no one does that anyway.

but i think new tshirts for a new site is a great idea, and i'd rather we make a thing of it with designer contributions and voting than just puttering off to make it ourselves.

[BrotherLovesDub]

i still get plenty of compliments on the his n hers 'beautiful/burnout' + 'biro/the/leggy' shirts i made for the SF shows

i've got a Women's Medium for sale still, black tee, white 'beautiful/burnout' print on front and 'underworld live in SF' print on back.

[Dirty0900]

Hey Mike, I won The Hump from you. Payment has been sent...

how'd you get those made again? they did look fantastic.

look, im not knocking your method, but saying site-wide participation and release (much like how bootleg babies formed) would be really great.

[nosajmunson]

I concur. Those BB & Biro shirts for SF looked pretty good.
Maybe we can use that method to produce new shirts that everyone has voted on & is willing to contribute to. Both $ & ideas.

I'm down for sure.

[BrotherLovesDub]

i designed them in Illustrator and sent the eps files to a local shop that prints t-shirts, bags etc. they cost about 30 including the shirt and 2 sided print.

[dubman]

dont suppose they do online orders
