Turtlerock Forum

Hi all...

I'm thinking about putting my U47 up for sale. I haven't taken it out of it's case for a year now and to be honest I can't see myself doing any music gigs anymore. I need low hours/high dollar gigs and music doesn't really provide that. TV does, so I'm going to unload some musical stuff over the coming months.

But in regards to the U47... what is an appropriate price for it? Short Body, M7 capsule, S/N 78.

Well he doesnt make them anymore
there has been one on eBay USA for a month
it started at 12k it's been dropping every week it's at 10k now
no bites
3 Neumann 47 have sold for 7-8k in the last month
which is a sure sign the economy is bad o/s

So I dunno I would ring gunter and get him to
offer it to somebody on his waiting list if your
strapped for cash
or put it on eBay for 9k
and bid your time it will sell but there are too many
47 on the market at the moment to get max dollars for it

Ok. All of those prices listed are more than I paid originally.

Thanks.

It's not something I want to do. I just don't really have much of a choice right now. If it goes, it will be the very last thing I sell.

Reason being, I need a procedure called SIRT. Basically they inject radioactive particles directly into my liver and "cook" the tumours. It costs $5,000 and is not covered by medicare. If my surgeon can't secure a "donation" of this treatment for me (which he might well be able to do) then I will need to find the coin myself. Keeping the Wagner kind of pales into insignificance in comparison to the benefits of the treatment....ie, not dying.

Kris,

I'd like to pledge a $100 donation to your cause. I know I don't know you personally but I feel like I do thanks to the T'rock forum. If others here can dig into their pockets to help you raise the money, maybe you could keep your prized Wagner.

C'mon guys, a T'rocker needs our help....!!!

Cheers

I'm good for a hundred too. Can we get 50 members to put in 100?

M

Hang on to the Wagner and Count me in for a hundred.

I'm in for a hundred too for you Kristian.....

Steve Lindsay

I'm in for a greenback.

Hi there Kristian,

Count me in as well.

Cheers

Hello Kristian,

count me in also,

may you make lots more music with that fantastic magical mic of yours,


h.a.r.r.y.a.r.v.a.n.i.t.i.s

I'll do 200 Kristian - Its not about the Wagner- its just a mic! - its about your health and well being.

nothing to do with the mic at all. perhaps we should move this post into a more obvious section of the forum?

Great work Guys.

Rick, can you move this to the main forum with a new topic regarding this fundraising. It may help get to the magic $5000.

Cheers

$100 sent. (had your bank details already from buying the Avalon)

You guys are just plain lovely.


I already eat weetbix for dinner 3 nights a week, but count me in for a pineapple at bare minimum. I'm
sure there are extra meals I eat without actually needing too.

I'll kick the can too, hang onto the Wagner.
"There, but for the grace of god, go I".
Has anybody got deposit details, please PM or put online.

Guys... I don't know what to say. Really. I am totally humbled by your generosity. Thank you so much.

I'm pretty close to tears here.

I'm in

Ditto. I need them also.

Yeh definately in for a bill and would need details.

It'd be the best thing I ever bought on this forum

Kris,

If you could post your Banking details, or, PM them to each of us, we could transfer you the money directly.

Also, I'm delivering a speech to the Liverpool Rotary Club next Tuesday about the music industry. If you shoot me over a few details about yourself and your required treatment, I'll see if I can extract any donations from them. I'll play them your video after they've had a few beers. That oughta do it.

Take care

I dont want to be the odd one out so count me in for $100.
And I will find something downstairs to sell and donate the money towards that as well.
Cheers

yep I need the details too.

M

Been a busy day for me. Just saw this and think it's awesome. Trockers united, allright. Makes me proud to be part of this forum.
Kris I hope you will accept it in the spirit it is intended.
Wooo....count me in.
Cheers.

I'll kick in a handful of golden drinking vouchers

so

what I need (and perhaps others ) is a way to do this ... bank account or paypal or ...

Count me in for 2 x Pineapples - those beautiful kids deserve a fully functioning Dad...

Can someone PM me Kris' bank details please?

i'm in for $100 too
lets leave the post where it is i reckon

no point making overly public what is privately a great idea amonst the trockers
lets see how close we can get to the magic number that pays the guys that can shoot this crap out of of kris's innerds

i guess every bit will help so add your name if you can

kris pm me your bank details and i will pass them along to anybody that is interested

i have had a lot of offers to help pay for the forum over the years i always reject them
i am not going to reject any offers for this one

kris has been on this forum it as long as i can remember

its up to him what he does with mic
but lets see what we can do with this other problem

there is about $2000 on the board already in one day
not too much to go really

Wow I'm just catching this too. I'm in for Kris and family.
Kris...man... that video you made is worth a thousand wake up calls to anyone.

Way to go Trockers!!

ok i have bank numbers thanks to a caring forum member
so if you post i will send you the numbers
check your pm they will be there

you can pm me for them direct of pm or call me offline as well if you like

if you havent seen kris' blog of the fight of his life
check it out - and please watch his video on this page

http://howthelightgetsin.net/2010/08/22 ... at-matter/

he is inspirational
and i love how you guys have fronted up
and maybe we will move this post to a more obvious place
but turtlerock has always been full of helpful little secret treasures
and i reckon we follow our form here
we all read the for sale section anyway !
if nothing else we have ever discussed here was worth me having kept the forum alive

this is.
