30.09.10. Ronnie Wood Guitar Hits eBay For £10,000
A guitar once owned by Ronnie Wood has landed on eBay after the guitarist fell out with his ex-brother-in-law Paul Karslake.
The signed ’54 Anniversary Custom Fender Stratocaster, which was built in 2004 for the Rolling Stone, has appeared on eBay with a reserve price of £10,000.
The guitar, which was signed “Smoke this! Ronnie Wood ‘07”, was presented to Karslake in 2007 before the end of Wood’s 23 year marriage to Karslake’s sister Jo Wood.
Since the split, the guitarist and his brother-in-law have ended their friendship, with Karslake (an artist by trade) portraying Wood as a vampire sucking his sister’s blood in a painting last year.
The artist, it appears, has now decided to rid himself of some of his Wood-related memorabilia and the Essex Echo is reporting that Karslake asked his friend, Alan Jones, to ‘eBay’ the item for him.

30.09.10. Study Shows 24% Of Brits Are Turning To eBay
A significant number of Brits are looking towards eBay delivery as a means of saving money according to a new survey.
Research carried out by GoCompare.com shows that around one in four (24%) people are buying household goods from the likes of eBay rather than purchasing items from more traditional retailers.
Such an eBay delivery trend comes as the price comparison site states many users are looking to make cutbacks in an effort to save money.
Just under a third (31%) of those questioned in the survey claim they will be spending less cash on birthdays and Christmas.
However, those looking for a bargain in the run-up to the festive season may want to consider online Christmas shopping, as a recent study by moneysupermarket.com revealed that one in five Brits have already started buying presents and other yuletide items.
And as the firm states many retailers now offer free online delivery, turning to the internet could help shoppers make their money go even further.
