Hearts Auction

[hibbycraig]

A hearts friend of mine is at the auction today. Steven Pressley paid £425 for a turnstile. Some guy just paid £2k for a bath. One of the old style hand painted signs sold for over £2.5k.

[hibbycraig]

Selling bits of turf that players have kissed ha

[sleeping giant]

They should just go the whole hog and shake them upside down by the ankles on the way out.

Lets face it, if this proves anything its that the commonly held view that your average Hertz fan tends to be from the more affluent areas of Edinburgh than your average Hibs fan is probably true ............ I cant imagine many Hibs fans with enough disposable income that they can afford to chuck away over 2 grand on absolute sheeeoit like that :faf:

[kevo1875]

It's what all the big clubs do, sell bits of tat to deluded fans and call them a historical momento lol...two grand for an old bath ha ha , wonder if u can still see the pinch bar marks on it from trying to get nades ass out of it..idiots

Sound like Presley bought the only thing worth having and at a reasonable price.

[KeithTheHibby]

Some ****ing moron on my fb just bought a large pane of glass for £250. Hope the **** breaks it on the way home. Twat.

[LeithSqualk]

Any accountants able to say if they will have to take the VAT off what was raised?

[SouthMoroccoStu]

It's the tat on offer and the desparation to raise funds that amuses me most

I like to think if we were to sell of the contents of a stand which is over 100 years old it would be for a charity or 2 - Dnipro and Kicks for Kids spring to mind

They are the charity

[hibbycraig]

They ended up getting 60k. Most expensive thing was that owl. Some idiot paid £4100 for it. Haha

To be fair, it's never been used.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Still won't be

[Pretty Boy]

Did anyone buy the shelf for the league cup in the trophy cabinet? Unused in half a century.

[Morganleith]

Raised over £60k apparently. The owl went for over £4K ffs.
suppose it's been worthwhile for them for crap that would of gone to the tip

[Sioux]

I wonder why they didn't make the same effort to raise money to fund their creditors when in admin. in fact I don't wonder - its probably something to do with morals. ****ers

[GloryGlory]

Still won't be

Maybe the buyer thinks it's a tattie planter. :greengrin

[Thecat23]

As much as it's a red face they are now £60k better off.

[fat freddy]

As much as it's a red face Ann Budge is now £60k better off.

Closer to the truth

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Bet they insisted on cash up front just in case.

[Col2]

So that's them at £360k against a target of £1m.

Initiatives dried up now.

Next it will be more begging cash cows

Has the symbolic emptying of the cow taken place yet though?

[.Sean.]

Yeah but they've nothing left to pawn and they're still a billion miles away from covering the shortfall.

As has been mentioned the initiatives are beginning to dry up, only so many cakes you can bake and faces to paint. They'll be doing sponsored walks and having jumble sales next.

They really are an embarrassment.

[Www1875hfc]

Much did Gary Mackays medals go for. :dunno:

The owl will crap itself when it sees the Jambo turn his head 360 degrees.

[Kato]

The guy said he's putting it on the wall.

[lyonhibs]

What Jambo owl is it we're talking about??

4k for an ornamental owl?!?!

A fool and his 💰 are easily parted eh!!

Selling the posts next week. Easier to be 0-0 that way.

Aye, the ornamental owl that was there to scare the pidgeons/seagulls.

You're missing the vanity factor... 'Look at me, I've spent 4 thousand quid for a piece of tat 'cos I've got considerably more money than you'

Could've got a 10 year old maroon coloured Rover with beige leather seats for that.

You can't drive an artificial owl but you can scare a pigeon with a maroon rover

Good point but I seriously doubt they'll see the irony.

You'd expect it if it was an owl sanctuary that was having the auction or a closing down sale but a football club??

[SouthMoroccoStu]

I like to think that right now, somewhere in Edinburgh there's someone waking up with a stinking hangover cuddling an ornamental owl (ala The Godfather) with a £4K hole in their bank account

I wonder what the return policy is....

None, and to make sure they kept the beware of pickpockets sign as a disclaimer.

[Pete]

I think they were also charged ten pounds each to get into this glorified jumble sale.

£2k for a bath? The guy apparently insisted it was filled with water before paying for it.

To be honest if your going to pay 2k for a bath from the 80s the most sensible thing you could do was insist you saw it full of water to make sure there were no cracks or leaks. However it's still a million miles away from sensible behaviour.

Apparently he asked if they still had the instruction manual.

"Darling, I've just invested 4 grand in the Jambos..."

"How many shares do you get for 4 grand?"

"Nae shares, but I've got a plastic owl."

Shares come and go, (well strictly speaking just go as far as the yams are concerned), but an owl like this is for life, unless you leave it too close to the fire.

eBay had them for £2 earlier today.

Not sure how to post the link ?

£4100 for a plastic owl - was that really the most prized item from that stand ??!

Here's a couple of plastic owls currently available on Amazon. Not sure if any are comparable to the Leitch version though.

They should have auctioned those double winning tshirts they buried under the stand. I for one would have donated to own such a great piece of history :)

The said owl is pictured in this link - the second ebay owl looks pretty similar - wonder if they bought one for 4 quid and sold it for 4100!

I say we should get blown up owls made for the first derby of the season.

[Bad Martini]

Hmmm, reportedly they need to make around £700k or thereabouts. Let's not split hairs and call it a nice, round £700k for the sake of keeping the accountancy simple :greengrin

OK, evidently us caravan dwelling, peg-selling hobos cant see the clear and obvious solution. :rolleyes:

Some two headed, morally imbalanced mutant has already put together a simple 5 step plan to resolve this issue in 2 hours:

1) Get 350,000 friends to join in with the plan
2) Get each of your 350,000 friends to turn on their ovens at the same time
3) Get each of your 350,000 friends to bake 2 small cakes each, one on each tray of the oven...
4) Get each of your 350,000 friends to sell their 2 cakes to another 350,000 hungry people who all want cakes, all at once, in the same place, at the same time for £1 per cake.
5) ...this gives you 350,000 people, each selling 2 cakes at £1 per cake to another 350,000 hungry cake eating people = £700k instantly aquired

Simple enough I'd have thought. There's 400,000 fans somewhere hungry anyway so that's 50,000 more than they need. What could possibly go wrong? :confused::rolleyes::greengrin:cb

If Plan A above fails, they could simply get 700,000 friends to conduct the bakeathon, selling each cake they produce for £1 each to another 700,000 hungry cake eaters.






































Aye, fair enough. I didn't ****ing start the radgeness though :greengrin scabby owls? Broken turnstyles? Russian sailors? :thumbsup:

He had a house at Westfield just outside Bathgate he had helicopter he could have used that to go to the games.

If it was that easy to get to the wongadome maybe it was just that he felt it might damage his image to be associated with a club that robbed the lady Haig Poppy Fund, Big Hearts and the Macraes Battalion Trust charities as well as the Ambulance service, the hard pressed city council, UK taxpayers and Lithuanian pensioners?

I picked up a nice wee wooden owl (£3.75p) in a junk shop in Easter Road a couple of months back, think I'll give it an outing at the first derby.
