Chair For Sale?
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auc_e/item ... 9890700001
At first I thought it was a toilet seat from the thumbnail but upon closer inspection I think I can rule that one out.
I don't suppose anyone wants to shed some light onto this signed object? I suppose I'm just curious as to why it's got bids already. I'm sure the signatures must be recognisable to some people, just not me.

The seiyuu's sat in the chair? Maybe? While saying their lines?

Well, here is the Japanese page if anyone cares to translate...
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auc/itemIn ... 9890700001
Who or what is STA☆MEN?
Is it the same as this that I found on Wikipedia under Fuji Television?
"Sta Men (週刊人物ライブ スタ☆メン , 2005.10 - 2007.3) - Night infotainment program, produced by Fuji TV and Kansai TV."
And the Japanese wiki page...

I didn't think to check the Japanese auction part, I just assumed it had no description yet either. ^_^;
Hm... from the Wiki entry, it looks like these STA☆MEN are a group of seiyuu who don't necessarily work on the same series.
Here's what the literal transation says, "... the independent production entertainment unit which is formed in 2002 November by 7 popularity dubbing artists".
I could be wrong though, it's just a guess based on the translation.
At least it sorta solves the mystery now. A bit of a quirky item to sign though. I'll be watching it anyway as it looks like quite a popular item.

If I bought it I'd probably just take the part where they signed it off. Personally I've never liked buying autographed items that were too difficult to store or keep out of indirect light. But that's just me.
I never would have thought there would be such a high demand for C.S. (Chair Signed).
At least it's not like those B.S. (Balloons Signed) that appeared in Anime Expo's Fund raising Auctions. Those signed items are rather useless to view once the balloons deflate.

BS sounds like a good acronym for those.Keropi wrote:At least it's not like those B.S. (Balloons Signed) that appeared in Anime Expo's Fund raising Auctions. Those signed items are rather useless to view once the balloons deflate.
As for the chair, well, I never really understood the excitement some people feel over autographs. I mean, I understand why they get excited, but it doesn't excite me. Well, at least they didn't sign a sofa or an armoire.
Apparently three of the seiyuu were in Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny..

In my opinion:
W.C.S. (Wood Cleaver Signed) >>> C.S. (Chair Signed)
I can't even imagine how much S.S. (Sofa Signed) would be to ship from Japan.
Perhaps sea shipping for S.S. would be best. But then it might take two or three months to arrive on my doorstep.
I usually prefer hand-created collectibles to machine produced items.

For me as a former classic hollywood autograph collector, I think the allure of autographs just comes down to the slight connection you feel to the signer. Of course an Autographed Letter Signed I like better than only an autograph. But getting an autographed letter signed from someone such as Judy Garland might cost well over $1000 even fifteen years ago.redwolf wrote:As for the chair, well, I never really understood the excitement some people feel over autographs.
