Nine Inch Nails Take on eBay

Nine Inch Nails called it quits in September and, unlike some bands that pretend to retire only to reunite a few months later, the group seems to be serious about the split.

To prove it, the band is basically having a cyber yard sale, taking on the task of clearing out the closets by listing a truckload of guitars, basses and even banjitars (banjo+guitar hybrid) in a series of eBay auctions. (Although, really, we can’t imagine the band is hard up for cash at this point…)

However, Trent Reznor and Co. warn excited fans that “We do not know which (if any) tour these items are from unless specified, nor can we get any items autographed, so please do not ask.”

So far, the least expensive item is red Fernandez travel guitar, currently at $660 (auction ends Dec.6).

The most expensive? A one of a kind ESP guitar adorned with artwork inspired by the band’s album The Fragile, currently at $2,550 (auction ends Dec.6).

Check out the complete auction line-up here and tell us if you’d bid on any of this ugly junk, um, we mean quality merchandise, just because it was owned by someone famous.

We’ve been going through the NIN touring and studio rigs and are getting rid of a large selection of gear and equipment the band is no longer in need of. It’s being listed on eBay here. We do not know which (if any) tour these items are from unless specified, nor can we get any items autographed, so please do not ask. Hundreds of items will be listed over the next several weeks such as guitars, keyboards, amplifiers, drums, staging, anvil cases, cables, rack/outboard gear, guitar effects, and pedal boards. Check the eBay page regularly for new listings, or follow @nineinchnails on Twitter for updates. More information can be found in the descriptions of each item.

We’ve also been gradually adding more inventory to the merch store, including t-shirts, books, and posters from recent tours. We’ll be continuing to add more items in the future, so check back regularly or follow @nineinchnails on Twitter for updates.
