OT: Buy Whitney Houston's bandsaw *LINK*

wilbur

>Whitney Houston, unable to pay $150,000 in storage fees, is auctioning off a warehouse full of items. Among the expected contents -- touring equipment, costumes and designer clothing, dismantled concert sets, and musical instruments -- is a single piece of woodworking equipment: a 36" Northfield bandsaw.

I am not making this up.

Follow the link for a picture. The auction is in Irvington, NJ, on Tuesday, January 9 at 11 AM. Bring your checkbook.

Maybe this isn't completely off topic, as it does involve a bandsaw. :@)

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

>Thanks for the link. Not that I want that bandsaw, it's too big for my needs, but maybe some of the musical equipment will go for a good price. If nothing else, I'll get to take a look at some pro audio stuff that the rest of us only dream about but a pop star has in storage.

Even better...

>On the main auction page, there is a headline boasting...

"UTILIZED BY WORLD FAMOUS RECORDING ARTIST WHITNEY HOUSTON"

Then down below they list...

Yale 5000 lb. LPG Forklift

Try to picture Whitney Houston driving a forklift in a "Dolce & Gabbana Tiger Print Sequin Skirt"! (Also listed)

>It's fairly common for auctioneers to mix in other items in an auction even their own personal stuff.

I'm sure this is the case with the bandsaw.
