Hypothetically speaking......
If I had a signed guitar by the members of ACDC who were helping a great cause...what would such a signed guitar be worth?
Anyone?

What sort of hypothetical guitar would it be? Something as used by ACDC?
I found this link - asking around $900 US

If it was something like an original 70's Music Man Electric Guitar ( they actually played them early in their career), it'd probably be worth a bit.
How about these signatures on this guitar!
Raising funds to send these guys home.

Hi Gavin, if it's in the USA most real autographs are registered with either PSA DNA. If is not verified by them be careful there's so many faked instruments. If t is verified. You can then ask for psa dna number and contact PSA and DNA they will tell you exactly what the item is where it was signed. Good luck hope it's a beaut.

It's a store bought Squirer, worth a few hundred bucks without the signatures, but should be much more with the signatures?Quote:

...already have an offer of $3000!Quote:

If you want and indication of what they would go for in the US there is a place called Rock Star Gallery that sells authenticated signed guitars and other memorabilia. The offer you had is probably in the ball park.
well done Gav, I'd be happy with an offer of $3k. Did you get to meet the band members how did you set up the autographs?
I'm with Tony on this one, get someone who does these deals normally to give you a good estimate on it.
I do have something to say about the tragic incident here... I found out when Channel 7 put it up on Facebook. Now I know they are spreading the tragic news but they had photographers at the scene taking photos of the co-workers who were at the time going through some counseling. At a time like that, it is an utter disgrace to just stand there on the other side of the road taking photos during such a tragic moment, what was contained in the Facebook post they had was alright, but the photos weren't.
I want to offer my condolences to the families of the men who were killed, hope everything gets sorted out.
So do I... I have heard that the slabs were being unloaded from a truck and those two were right under it... So i doubt they had a chance....Quote:

Hence I refuse to watch any commercial station news or read papers owned by Rupert M as they are filled with sensationalism and blatent lies.
One of our neighbours is a Workplace Safety Inspector, the poo is gunna hit the fan over the three industrial deaths in one day here in Perth.Quote:

There is also a thing called common sense... Don't stand anywhere near stuff that is being lifted by a crane. It's that simple.
All I can say here is wot DB said! If only we had the same workplace laws as in NZ, if you stand under something being lifted, its instantly sackable on the spot!
if they fined workers a slab of beer for standing under anything lifted by a crane that would lower the workplace deaths by almost 100%
My eldest son works in construction in Perth and is not happy with the way it is going and was most distressed by the 3 deaths.
I'll leave the comments at that
