Freddie Memorabilia For Sale

your title says "freddie memorabilia for sale"
it is NOT freddie memorabilia. memorabilia is something that would be specific or particularly relevant to the subject. a camera case used for thousands of photography assignments that freddie just happened to sit on just once does not make it "freddie memorabilia"

why don't you place an ad in in a proper memorabilia magazine and try describing it as above, then see how long before you get sued under the trade desrciptions act?

and as for your comment about "harsh crass words" - you're the one who came here completely new - no history on this site at all - in fact 85% of your massive total of six posts are in this thread - just for the prime purpose of ripping off some gullible c*nt

stop exploiting sad saps who have more sense than money. your kind are fucking horrible

$9900 US is what I would expect the crown Freddie wore on the Magic tour to sell for, not a camera case he once sat on.

Brenski, I spent years on queenzone, posting as MrJordan. I left, precisely because of belligerent tarts such as yourself. Queenzone has become nothing but stomping grounds for the bullies and the Stepfords. I'd venture to guess that you fall into the first of those categories. What I have for sale is what it is, son. Take it or leave it. Clearly, you'd prefer to leave it. It's a goddamn case. Freddie sat on the motherfucker. It's for sale. I'm willing to negotiate. End of story. The fact that you take so much offense to the notion that I'd even dare come to QZ to offer this case almost amuses me - almost, but I personally don't give enough of a shit to raise real emotion towards the issue. Indeed, it IS Freddie memorabilia. He sat on the son on of a bitch and had a pretty iconic photo taken whilst upon it. The case can be seen in "Queen: Live In Budapest" and one of the pictures of Freddie sitting upon the case has been used over and over and over in various DoRo photo montages, including the video for "Too Much Love Will Kill You" and documentaries. It's Queen memorabilia, it's Freddie memorabilia. It's whatever the hell I want to call it, because I own it and you don't.

That having been said, piss off.

You might get more for it if you marketed it as a piece of Denis O'Regan memorabilia. The links to Fred are too insubstantial to make it a piece of Fred or Queen memorabilia.

Yes and why on earth would you call it "Freddie Memorabilia" if Michael Jackson spent time with it? Wouldn't that be a stronger selling point? Especially now???

...unless maybe THIS is the place that Freddie secretly wanted his ashes contained in.

my guess is it's been spammed across various fan sites...depending upon which rock.music star once sat/stood on it,

Well spotted, but I wouldn't make too much of that, just from watching the video, I'd be shocked if DoRo had put any thought into what clips they put in that mess ('I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me' accompanied by a cartoon bit from AKOM and Roger snipping John's tie).

[b]Sue Anne Mercury Taylor wrote: [/b] Togg, I respect everything you said and I agree with some points you made. Please bear in mind that because I am open to negotiation, my asking price needed to be increased so that I may be "talked down." As well, I simply copy/pasted the exact context of the email which I sent to Hard Rock Cafe, a company which is most certainly capable of paying out somewhere near my asking price.

You are right, it is merely a case that Freddie sat down upon, BUT, it also happens to be the case that housed the very camera that took most of the iconic photos of Freddie (Wembley, Knebworth, on and on) that we're all familiar with. It has also been to every major rock and roll event in which Mr. O'Regan was present. In essence, this case has really been around and seen things that we could only hope to. It just so happens that the greatest entertainer of all sat on top of it, making its value perhaps a bit grander.

I disagree that this is "not rock history." This is undeniably rock history. This case housed the very camera that has allowed us to see Freddie, Queen, Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Faith No More, Van Halen and many others in brilliant form. It joined Queen throughout their very last tour with Freddie and sat in the front row at Knebworth and Wembley, as Mr. O'Regan snapped photos. It's rock history, but it might not be your kind of rock history - and I respect that.

With regard to it perhaps never increasing in value, let me quote Jacky Smith, Queen fan club president: "When Queen are all dead and gone, there's no telling how much you could fetch for this thing. Hang onto it."

I thought you might find it interesting that at 3:59 in the video for "Too Much Love Will Kill You", there's Freddie sitting on top of that case, looking as if he's contemplating life. I've seen the same photo used in other Queen videos that include photo montages.
