I just got outbid at the last moment 

[miguelimarques]

Yeah... I thought I saw your name somewhere.

[nurvanna]

im ok with this

some speculation...
if courtney had built a kurt museum and had all this stuff on display
it would’ve generated huge profits yearly and the guitar wouldve remained in the family
but nope
the “family” had it and yet somehow it was “gifted” to the son-in-law as a wedding gift
keep selling his stuff
typically the buyer is the only one with sense to put it on display so that others may enjoy seeing it
courtney and frances dont seem to grasp how massive that exhibit in ireland was to the fans
regardless of how kurt felt about being in a museum
c & f adore money
keep his stuff
create a museum
slap his likeness on anything you can imagine
that would generate far more revenue than what they didnt make off the martin
and
things would stay within the family

Though, I have never been happy with Courtney attitude regarding Kurt’s and Nirvana’s legacies after and before April 1994.
I can see your point, but I tend to disagree.
I have been working in museums and art galleries for 20 years and there are an infinite number of aspects, which would undoubtedly reached 6 millions in profit - from insurance to space rent or staff to storage. Even if they were able to organise a travelling exhibition, it had to be sponsored by a major corporation, insurance would be insane and travelling costs not nice. Unless you would be able to guarantee a dozen of spaces in diff parts of the world and follow the prices for Tutankhamen at Saatchi Gallery in London - £37.5 per head!!!
Peace

I love Sappy’s lyrics sheet!
