[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 383644, member: 5830"] A great listen again guys, definitely getting better every show. To add some meat to the bones in the debate about he Nigo auction and why the prices may have been so over the top; contrary to the conclusion that the items being Nigo's probably didn't actually affect the sales value. I believe this is the wrong conclusion. To help explain, unlike Christian Slater (whoooo :lol: ), Nigo is given a God like status in huge communities around the world in a far more commercial manner than most film stars could ever imagine; most especially in Japan and the US. He's not only the designer behind A Bathing Ape clothing (hoodies can run £800 plus) and Bape / Bapestar trainers (often topping £1000 a pair) etc. He is a close friend and collaborator with Pharrel Williams (Happy, Blurred Lines) and they have some kind of partnership on the clothing range Billionaire Boys Club. Don't also forget he's a world famous DJ and record producer too... These sub-culture fans, his disciple like followers, combined with a fandom for Star Wars (some of the Japanese collections on Instagram are ridiculous) and of course the Japanese obsession with toys in general and anything vintage, the prices were bound to sky-rocket. In other news, am I the only one that listens and flicks through the LA threads to se the pics in line with the commentary? [/QUOTE]
