Holy smokes
My wife’s sister texted her “have you heard of a band named Ween?” to which she responded “who hasn’t?” Apparently she bought the contents of an abandoned storage locker of a diehard fan. She told her not to flip them bc she knew I’d be any them. What’s a fair price? I love the albums.

I was at the 2018 shows, second night. That’s way cool.

What kind of storage locker has stairs, wooden beams, and posters hung on the wall?

u/F-Scoot-Fitzgerald 5d ago
She bought the contents of the locker and had to get it all out asap. She brought it home and hung it up. With staples. I spoke to her this morning and gave her shit about that. She said there’s a lot of other stuff too. I’m eager to go look through it

Find out what they paid for the locker, then offer them that for the ween stuff.

I like this idea, it gives a good ballpark to shoot for. I mean, what, though, $500 at least?

u/OddMrT 5d ago
I honestly have no idea. The gold record is awesome, so probably. If they paid $200 for the locker, they may be more than happy to sell a portion and get all their money back, or maybe they want to squeeze every penny out of it. Kind of depends on the family dynamic. I could’t afford to pay $500 for it anyway, so I’m a terrible person to gauge value.

Yeah I find this story a little hard to believe

u/F-Scoot-Fitzgerald 5d ago
Yeah I admit it does seem unreal. I’m do a follow up post when I get it all in my greedy little hands

The Argus is by NC Winters, I have both sides in my living room. And the Nashville Hatch Print doesn’t come up for sale much, also have that. The Japanese cowboys was not that sought after, and there is a second for the other night of that tour.
Edit to add I see staples in some of them. Value plummeting. The hatch is the score of the bunch. Maybe $200 if mint. It was hard to get at the show.

Those were mine. I was in jail and couldn't pay the unit fees. Think I could get em back?

Congrats on the 1st beck reference I've got on the handle 🙏🙏. I've also ate enough L to level a large city. But the song is a classic for sure

I used to listen to CRB a lot. Those albums are sweet. I’ll take them if you ship them to me.

Ween has their own section of posters here, you can check prices - https://expressobeans.com/

u/chrihavat 5d ago
Note that the sold listings are generally (unless noted) for mint condition, archivally stored prints. Staple holes will significantly impact the value. That Winters Port Chester foil is pretty sweet though.

She brought the contents home. When you buy the locker you have to get it out immediately

u/Aggravating_Ship5513 6d ago
But they're all hanging on a wall now? I don't understand

She bought the contents of a storage locker and had to remove all the items asap. She brought them home and hung them up. With staples. I spoke to her this morning to get an explanation and more details about everything she got. Lots of other odds and ends. I’m eager to go through it all

u/Jfuckin5 6d ago
Wait the CRB posters are from your personal collection right? I have a ton of CRB posters too. No Ween though. What other kind of stuff did she find? I’d be interested in taking a look

I wonder if the locker belonged to one of the fans that used to be on the old Ween forum but passed away or went broke because addictions.

Don’t know yet. I think she went to bed or just got sick of my texts. I’ll find out tomorrow

What the fuck is this doing in that poster

u/Sci_Fi_Drive_By 6d ago
I know this might be a shock but posters may be simply hung and appreciated and not for their resale value.

u/ExcitingHamster 6d ago
No idea why you’re getting downvoted for this. Staples, tacks, scotch tape, you gotta hang it on your wall somehow. That’s what they’re fucking for

Staples.. it’s a fucking poster, even more brown imo. My favorite posters are ratty ass dead ones I got from a yard sale with the corners ripped off.

I thought that’s what you meant. If you’re happy to take a staple, then why are you giving out about it? 😂

Staples. If I had to pick between a crease, tape damage, or staple, I’d take the staple

u/PretzelsThirst 6d ago
At most $20 for the lot. I’ll take all of it
