Paul Weller, Ronnie Wood, Coldplay, Mark Ronson, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode & Toploader are among a number of artists auctioning off their guitar plectrums for charity.
The V.I.P (Very Important Plectrum) fundraiser is for the Trekstock cancer charity and LifEbeat Hiv organisation.
Each lot includes a signed card to verify the plectrum's authenticity and each plectrum is mounted in a special frame (like the above). The eBay.co.uk auction kicked off on Sunday (29May11) and will run until 19 June (11).
This initiative is very similar to the response by punk-rock outfit Blink 182 who auctioned off memorabilia in the wake of the Japanese disaster earlier in the year. Certain lots from bassist Mark Hoppus sold for upwards of $17,000 so it will be interesting to see how much the VIP can raise.
Watch this space and we'll report back after the auction closes...
