other than that, the sending them around and takin pics idea is pretty cool. be neat to do that with a few things items, no?

yeah its £50 now, but there are nine days left... lets see how high it goes...

but either way i might send them on a Dirty World tour...

'why on earth would people want to chip in so that you could keep them for that small a price?'

My idea was/is, when underworld construct a piece of art to be sold in an auction to raise money for a good cause, then we all can donate to it by chipping in or topping up Matts bid.

man, i hate to be cynical, but how do you now the money actuall *is* going to the NAT? i mean, i could sign up to ebay with the username "cancerresearchuk" or whatever and auction off any old shit i might find lying around, surely . . .

beacuse on the the official NAT website they state that an auction is up and running as from yesterday...i was too sceptical but i checked it out...

as stated here:

http://www.nat.org.uk/page/1691

i agree that the auction looks suspect and i indeed dismissed it,

and i quote "no fucking way",

mainly because of the lack of design and craft to the auction page, but it does indeed appear to be quite genuine...and after looking into it i decided to bid...

So, as I understand it, this is a one-of-a-kind item?

[Malt Refund]

Absolutely not, I have the exact same pair and am wearing them now.

Do you ever accidentally step on the action figure guy?

bid being retracted

i was certain that KH wouldn't do something this bad - but when i went to check it out it did seem genuine... but obviously this is a scamster of major proportions, i didn't like to say but the designer boots by other artists looked very dodgy too....

very mad at this...especially after initially dissing them as crap - now i know they are

thanks for KH for letting me know in time....
