The video we saw of the guy, well his friend actually, he's selling the piano again and the proceeds goto Amy Lee's Epilepsy fund.

Click that link. it also has childhood pics of amy.. pretty nice!

[hElena]

On no! :eek: Finally pictures of 'fat Amy with goofy hair' have been posted :eek: She's been trying so hard not to let this happen :p

[nadège]

I think it's good the money goes to the epilepsy fund!

[hElena]

I think it's good the money goes to the epilepsy fund!

Agree! That is really nice of him to do all this for the fund.

[Liuum]

I know at least its something, but its only 10%.
So if it goes now, then the fund will only get like $25...

Aww only 10%? well I think it's going to go for way more than it is now :)

[Aerdna]

Wtf??! Amy wasn't fat! But her haircut is pretty funny :p In an adorable way of course...I thought I'd never see the day where Amy had short hair...

But yeah, that's nice of the guy to give some of the money to the foundation...

I only said fat because that's how her dad and than Amy described herself at that age :p She said she doesn't want anyone to see the pictures from that time

[nadège]

I thought I'd never see the day where Amy had short hair...
Yeah, I almost didnt recognize her!

[Katya]

^I was about to say, Helena, that was awfully rude. But at least it was only a reference...you may want to edit that and put that in quotes since you didn't really mean it.

I think those pics are adorable. *had hair close to that length in 8th grade* But why is he selling the piano? She signed it especially for them and everything. :confused: They were all excited when they won, too.

It's a shame, but hopefully they get a good price for it so that the Epilepsy Foundation can get a nice chunk of it.

.

Edited: ;) btw, I am quite a big girl myself ;) I think Amy's dad said it when he posted on evboard (after Amy's childhomm photos had been posted) and Amy said in one of her recent interviews that at the time when she met Ben she was fat, had goofy hair and wore braces.

[Sadness]

haha. the hair are weird.
omg.. i never thought her hair are so blonde. :eek:

[Amphyx]

Shame its Only 10%

[Amie]

awww. that's nice that they are sending proceed to the epilepsy fund. Man, when I see her hanging out with people like in those pictures, my heart sinks. It's just amazing to see how real she is. When I see these other celebs, it's hard to imagine they have a family and do normal things, but looking at amy, you can tell she's just so grounded.

Squeee. I have so much respect for her :P

[Rahul]

no contribution is small...

[fearlesst15]

i understand he is giving a portion to charity but i still dont understand why he's selling it.

the whole new house and baby thing doesnt really explain it. i would have kept it especially after forking over quite a bit of cash for it.

it's a cool thing to have but i dont have the cash to bid for it and also part of the big draw the first time was getting to pick it up from amy and her dad.

hopefully it goes for a good amount so the epilepsy fund gets a fair amount of money.

[Sadness]

Yeah, I almost didnt recognize her!

i didnt recognize her.
when i read "amy when she was 11" i was like WTF????:p

[ErgoProxy]

Shame its Only 10%

Wait for the winning bid, I'm sure that it will be higher than the current highest bid.

And like Rahul said, no contribution is small.

[chii]

I wish, that would be amazing to buy that but I live in Canada, how would it be shipped? I used to actually have hair like that! My sisters called me lampshade for it too XD

[Leanne]

I think it's nice to see it being passed around every now and then, and still getting used, and at least it's still helping Amy help others even now. And a couple of pics there I've not seen before, thanks for posting =]

[Evan]

The photo is so...
I don't know it's funny
:p

[Princess_Diane]

*sigh* I wish I could afford to purchase something like that. And you have to give the guy his thanks for at least donating to the epilepsy fund he didnt have to actually do that. Congrats to the winning bidder thats all I can say.

[Revelations]

10% is more than 0%. I know that's obvious but it's more than what many others would give.

I was thinking the exact same thing now I not that shes not some robat album maker lol.I know shes real>>>>>;)

[dreamchaser_83]

i am actually gonna post a bid...even though i live waaaay up north in canada....that would make my ev collection complete and i would love to help out the foundation more than i already have. does anyone know how long the auction is on for?

[Tracie]

i understand he is giving a portion to charity but i still dont understand why he's selling it.

Actually, that explains it perfectly. He probably didn't realize the expense of having a new house and a baby so he figured that this was the best way he could get his money back for it. When you get older, your priorities change. Probably supporting his family outweighed his love of the piano.

You guys also have to remember that the guy who is selling this, wasn't the ones who went to pick it up. His friends were the one who had the "experience" (he was on his honeymoon) while he was the one who had paid for it.

[keisecker]

OMG when I saw that 11 year old picture I was like "that can't be real" because it seems so ...real!
But I have some doubts for the picture below where it says 1 year later. That's so impossible, because she looks so much older on it and her brother, if that's the one in front would have been way too old

[Yumi Yan]

wait... :confused: some guy bought one piano from Amy.....so she had two.....am I right?

EDIT: damn! I'm such a dumb!it's the same piano! so he's selling it?

[Buffyfan]

Wish I could afford to bid I would so like to have it and the proceeds are going to a great cause

[danyzinha]

my wasn't fat! But her haircut is pretty funny

[Aerdna]

I only said fat because that's how her dad and than Amy described herself at that age :p She said she doesn't want anyone to see the pictures from that time

I know that, I was saying it because Amy said she was fat, but Amy wasn't fat!

[Leteka]

anyone here actually bid on it? considering but dont know where I would put it since I also havea FULL sized organ and a digital piano

[Afterglow]

I think it's great, it's really nice of him. And the pictures are brilliant!

[never_be_good_enough]

You should be carefull when bidding on this. I know the guy's story is right but how do you know it's the same piano. This same ebay user has been selling fake origins, sound asleeps and evanescence ep's on ebay for months now.

[ANJELUZ]

i wanted but i don't have money, i'm so sad

[CrackedOutLithium]

damn i would never get rid of that! but its nice hes giving some of the money to the fund :) wow @ them playing HELLO omg

[EightOctaves]

I would GIVE ANYTHING to have this...but it's just too expensive what with the shipping it would cost to the UK as well.

I wonder if Amy minds them selling it on? I'm guessing she doesn't cause it's for her charity, but it's just that she worte 'look after my baby!' on it when she signed the lid. Is selling it on somewhere new really looking after it?

Just a thought ^_^

[not.pictured]

I am pondering whether to place a bid. My grandparents was meaning to buy me one but... As you can see, nothing but.... I AM almost to the point of placing a bid.

[JamesMcFenlon]

I must have this,it would be like teh best present ever for me!

[telstronic]

I wonder if his "free postage" covers postage to australia :)

[Neejchee]

that "free postage" isnt actually free postage. It means there are no actual postage costs, because he wont post it. It's up to the buyer to organise collection/delivery.

[billy_magnum]

idk why but seeing pictures of amy giving that piano up stuck me with such a sad feeling. The guy who bid for such a good cause deserved it but still if i was the one who could win the ebay auction...I garentee you people that that piano would be back in Amy's and her family's hands right after I won. it would make me so much happier to know they had it than anyone else. But its not like the winner of this auction is helping a cause like the first guy. But who am I kidding.. if Amy wanted it back she would have it through her own actions. ;) I couldn't imagine parting with that but we should all come together and get Amy's piano back to her! Stand with me!

[Syd]

The guy who bought the piano can do with it as he pleases. The Lee family wasn't hugely attached to the piano. Baldwin sent Amy a new piano, and they sent her family a baby grand, so they had to make room for the new one.

So...out with the old. :)

Am I the only one who finds the carpet the funniest thing about the younger Amy picture? hehe...Notice how it's changed in the second pic.

[Tara]

Well, here's my two cents, although probably no one else is going to agree with me. I think the seller should have first gotten in touch with Amy and asked how she felt about him putting it back up for auction and explaining that some of the proceeds would go to that charity.

The reason why I said that is because of how Amy signed it, it seems like she was saddened by having to let it go, and wanted to make sure it was well taken care of. That piano is / was a huge part of her life.

I completely agree.

[Syd]

Seriously, I don't think the family had a group cry after the piano was driven off into the sunset.

Her dad told me they were getting rid of it, anyway.

So calm down. :)

[Tara]

lol, I'm calm, I just would have asked first. :)

[Neejchee]

I dont see why. If I bought a piano from Jow Blog down the street, then later decided to sell it I wouldn't feel the need to ask/tell him about it. And even though we often think of Amy as something higher or more than your average person, as far as her rights over the piano go she really IS just Joe Blog down the street. lol, a much better looking and cooler Joe Blog, but hey.....

[Lesley]

How can Amy have parted with her childhood piano? *sob* Mind you, it may have had some horrific memories associated with it if my experience of learning the piano is anything to go by...pffrt. lol

[Derek]

I would never trust band memorabilia on eBay. There is no way to ever prove its real (for all you know he could've gotten those pics somewhere else), and autographs can be faked very easy.

The fact he's been selling album fakes just further makes me worry. I'd bid at your own risk =).

[danyzinha]

she´s so perfecttt
I loved this site

[TwistedShadow]

It's so weird that she's singing Hello, its sad.

[Imagine]

the picture where it says she was eleven then the other one were it says a year later well amy really dosent look like 12 there...*confused*

Yeah when i read what you said i was like:eek:
I think Amy looks cute
I know 10% isnt that much but atleast he has decency to give any away

[asweetsacrifice]

Does anyone have those pictures and could you post them? I click on the link but it said that it had been removed.Thanks:)

haha, so someone did buy the piano, wow, I feel stupid

[Julieann]

That's because someone bought the piano...a long time ago. The auction is closed.

[Hethlouise]

The picture/link wont load for me, can anyone upload a pic?

[Nyssa]

someone can show me the picture pls?

[Escence of EV]

Yes can someone please post the pictures on here? And does anyone know how much it sold for?
