Ha! Evidently the guy didn't even know where he was working that night! :rolleyes:

I do like the picks though!

And no, Ga, I'm not bidding.

No wonder Don put in a plug for the Cubs!

Wish I was rich enough to hire the Eagles to play my birthday party.

Hey - I've got a birthday coming up next month. Hmmm - maybe if everyone here on The Border could pitch in, we could ... uh, let me go do the math.

I wonder how much they cost for a private party?

Let's see, if I start saving now..........nah, probably not! I don't thing :pray: would work either!

What about party of two?? I bet we could afford them! I mean if we all start adding up how much $$$ we're spending on going to concerts, flying across the country,ticket costs, GAS...food, lodging. Personally I think I can add in the cost of my internet and ebay purchases. (does lust and waisted time have any value? I mean MONETARY value...)
If I add it all up THAT way we might be able to afford it (BTW, my birthday is next week, so hurry up!!) *G*

My birthday is in March, that's too long to wait! :(
I'm gonna give a earlier birthday party and I want the Eagles to be there to perform! (Don solo is even fabulous!) :lol:

Last I heard, the Party of Two asks for about a third of a million to play events and that's not including costs such as transportation, venue expenses, hired help, extra materials to provide for their comfort (see rider MikeA posted elsewhere)... I imagine it would easily get upwards of $350,000!

Ok, I can pick em up at the airport and Gatoraide isnt THAT much. I have an extra bed and, of course Joe wouldnt have to worry about that.. *G*

We just need to cut some corners *G* Im sure they'd be willing for such devoted fans as ourselves *G* (I can dream, right?)

Well I don't get free shipping. On some items the shipping can cost more than the item!! :brickwall:

GA-I sympathize with you. I run into the same thing when buying a lot of my Sweet stuff because so much of it comes from the UK. I always have to figure it in to the final cost and sometimes it's just not worth it.

Good Luck PeekaBoo!!

I see the pick now stands at $51. With more than 2 days to go. I bidded in the early stages but am out of it now. I have an identical one from London, so its not THAT important to me.

Good Grief! $51 for a guitar pick? I bought one off of eBay...I think it was Frey's and I don't remember paying more than $10 for it including $5 or so for shipping to cover the $.38 postage! It's getting crazy out there!

Reminds me though, I need to get a fresh picture of the picks. I think the photo paper in this one is beginning to crinkle with age, don't you?

All of the picks below came from concerts we went to and we got them from the crew after the show EXCEPT for Glenn's and the "Official Joe Walsh Pick" which comes in the JWFC new member's packet.

I never did get one of Timothy's picks though and I was watching for one too! I have one of Henley's picks. It's gray with his name on it in white. I got that pick after I'd taken the photograph and have since reframed the display. But I've been holding off on getting it digitized in hopes of getting a pick from TBS.

HERE ARE THE PICKS (http://mvabercrombie.net/Eagles_Walsh/pages/max_PPickDisplay.html)

Great picks Mike! The Joe one is particularly cool!! I have 4 Glenn :heart: picks - all from different eras including one from the 2008 tour. My daughter as a 'Timmy pick' as she calls it as well. They all cost in between €10 and €20, + P&P. I'd bid higher for an unusual one.

Of course if I had any commercial sense I would release the London one....but notta hope!! I am more the sentimental type! Glenn :heart: your picks are safe with me!! :thumbsup:

The 2003 Walsh pick I think was the one my son fought for at the Wichita concert that year. The one that just says "Eagles 2002" Might be either Joe's or Stu's. One of the crew tossed it to my daughter at the Oklahoma City concert and it came from the right side of the stage. Probably Stu's.

Very cool, Mike. I agree that $51 is an outrageous amount of money for a pick. I've seen them on ebay before a lot cheaper than that.

You UK fans, here's an auction I'd think you'd be interested in!

EAGLES COMMEMORATIVE GUITAR PICKS (http://cgi.ebay.com/Eagles-Guitar-Pick-Tribute-Display-Picks-Set-NEW_W0QQitemZ150301095119QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item1 50301095119&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C 240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)

CHECK THIS ONE OUT TOO (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250304712132)

These are not "authorized" by the Eagles but are very similar to my Joe Walsh Commemorative Collection that I got through JWFC.

I also saw a TBS pick that I just may bid on. That would complete my "real" pick collection except for Felder and Smith. I doubt that I could afford one from Leadon and Meisner.
