I created this topic to comment live on the day of the auction.
It's all about the music.

Hopefully, if anyone is at or following the auction on line, a note will be kept of how much each item sells for ?
Much as I'd love to bid on a cheaper item ( lap steel or mandolin? ) common sense tells me not to, and I'm not available to attend or follow it online. :(

All realised prices will be available on the website.
If you decide to bid, you can place an absentee bid in advance (before 30 January).

Will stream it on my TV. Working from home has its benefits  ;D

I'm really curious to see what kind of prices his guitars will be selling for, even the non-essential ones.

Do we have any bidders at AMIT?

The prices for those non-essential ones are interesting. I mean, there are guitars that Mark has received as an gift and possbily played couple of notes or not. Possibly someone would like to have a guitar from MK's collection at any cost and that could increase also price of these. Or not.  :think

I placed a bid online for the 1984 red/black Pensa Suhr, but I did it more out of novelty than anything else. I'm obviously not going to get that guitar

It's funny what they write in the blurb for many of the non-essential guitars: "From time to time, Knopfler kept this guitar in his study for home use." I'd say the B.S. factor is pretty high  ;D I mean, some of those instruments he's probably hardly even looked at.

I have a interest in one specific not so iconic piece. Let's see where it goes.
