As previously reported, Martin Bulloch planned to sell his old pacemaker on eBay. Now, it's available right here. And here's what he has to say about it:
This item is the heart pacemaker, which for 5 years was used by me, Martin Bulloch. I am the drummer of Mogwai. All proceeds of this auction will go to the British Heart Foundation to help fund their ongoing work in fighting and preventing heart disease in the UK. Along with this quite unique item, i will also thrown in a couple of Access All Areas passes to the winner for a Mogwai show nearest to their home town/city as well as other assorted goodies. I did a similar auction several years ago and managed to raise just over £200, lets try and get a little more this time. happy bidding!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty straightforward except for the whole selling-of-your-old-pacemaker thing...
So how much is going to go for? Nobody can say for sure, but as of the time of this article, the bidding had reached £205 or around $419. It ends in 10 days. Maybe by then I'll have figured out whether this is great (because it's for a good cause) or just plain creepy.
