Hobbayne Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Then you maybe interested in paying £350 for this brick. And its damaged!! 😂 https://shop.abbeyroad.com/*/*/Original-Abbey-Road-Studio-Two-Brick/666L0000000?utm_campaign=AbbeyRoadFansAdditionalLecturesEmailsBrickEmail240719&utm_content=UMGUK13870-651294&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=Email Edited July 24, 2019 by Hobbayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 That’s not damage, that’s mojo. You know how it works. That brick looks like an original 31 also, they’re quite rare these days. Soon, there’ll be bricks for sale just like it, skilfully “relic’d” by artisan builders, selling for a premium and also not damaged. People will ask “Why don’t you just buy a new brick and damage it yourself through honest wear and tear?” but they just don’t get it. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 £350 and you have to collect it yourself 🤣 Where do I sign up? Wonder who will be the first to cross the zebra crossing and do the pose holding theirs? (the brick that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still-young Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I don't have much sense, but luckily I don't have much money either. Limits the damage somewhat! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akabane Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 To be fair, it is a collectible. People really don't get it, @Doctor J Doesn't make sense that 'it's damaged whooo and it's 350 quid'. There's people who would pay thousands for something like that. If I were to put on the 'on sale' section here THE (broken) NECK OF THE FIRST EVER P BASS - mind you, it's twisted, unplayable and so forth. I would bet you 10% of the sale price that you'd have people coming in in DROVES to put their hands on a 'useless' piece of history. Peace out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brick is more akin to the hairnet worn by a lady who worked at a crisp factory that made a bag of ready salted that Jaco once ate.

Earbrass Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) How much does it weigh? Oh, never mind, it's left-handed. Edited July 25, 2019 by Earbrass 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_c2 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Personal registration plates have absolutely no utility value (arguably less than the brick) yet people pay much more than £350 for some of those.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha brilliant 😁 I look at it more like a piece of the Berlin Wall, which you can also get on the Bay. This one is £95, but there are smaller pieces for a lot less - https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323837548836 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_c2 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I remember buying a brick at B&Q, the cashier gave me a receipt for 8p. I was thinking...."hmmm yeah if the brick goes faulty, I'll bring it back for a refund, thanks". I guess it could have been purchased in error, or needed for accounting reasons, or developed a crack or is the wrong specification etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si600 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I wonder if it'll be like holy relics. Allegedly if all the bits that are supposed to be from the One True Cross were ever brought together there would be enough left over to make another four. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 £350 for tat isn't bad. some idiot just paid £350,000 for a used pair of nike trainers.

uk_lefty Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Are they doing this to raise money for a charity? Didn't see anything in the ad but only skimmed through. You can see people paying that if it were for a charity... Meaning self employed types who can write off tax against it as a charitable donation.
