The product in this sample sale is far better than any sale we've had before. People have been emptying cupboards, breaking open boxes, turning over rocks and finding pre-production, un-released and one-off samples from all over the building.

Nice. Not so pricey.

Any chance of exclusive entry the night before the sale in exchange for signed rock'n'roll memorabilia? ;)

when you say drastically reduced prices, what sort of discounts are likely?

I'm imagining the best part of 10%

Should cover the train fare then...

Discounted items will be up to 90% off RRP

I have no idea about specific stock items. You have to go to find out!

seriously tempted for those sorts of bargainz...

40 quid for a return train on the Saturday....

Do you know how the entrance will be done - 1 in, 1 out?

available on the bay 3rd feb

Prolly late on the 1st..

will there be maximum number of any one item purchasable ?............. it would help, maybe.

Where possible we do try and police re-selling but if someone buys one of everything they can find in medium and then goes on to sell it there's not much we can do.

Anyone going? Will there be any london sales at all?

Will there be an ambulance waiting outside for the inevitable black eyes and bloody noses?

I can swing by with coffee for triple the price I paid and am available to translate if you don't understand Northern.

wow. such dedication.

Anyone going? Will there be any london sales at all?

No London sales. This will be the last Manchester one too. Probably the last one in the UK.

Quadruple price coffee.

What's the earliest people have been known to turn up to one of these?

6.30am Thursday.

More sought after than the next iphone these are...

Probably the last one in the UK.

Subscribed for inevitable war stories.

40 quid for a return train on the Saturday....

Do you know how the entrance will be done - 1 in, 1 out?

Yeah, but from what I've seen the venue is pretty big (two floors!) and will hold a lot of people so there should be a fairly steady flow of people going in and out. This means hopefully no big queues.

The price list is........................................insane.

Seriously.

I might have £3 spare, how much stuff can I pick up?
