Hi!
I have an original jeans from Per for sale. We got this one from EMI in London in 1992 and wanted to use it for the German fanclub. Somehow this never happened. Now is your chance:

Jens.

Hej Judith..where is my comment ??
I know that Jens understand, what I mean...

@Judith: A magazine called Smash Hits here in the UK used to like Rox alot in the very early 90’s....they ran a competition in one issue to win a pair of Pers jeans I think the secound prize was some plectrums.
A entered 10 billion times but never won......a friend of mine who I met a year or so later had won them!!! she then got them signed by Per outside a concert who said ’hey my jeans!’ (so they’re real!!)
My friend then decided to travel to Australia for a while about 7 years later and she said that I could have them :-) I owe her a few beers ;)
So....they’re real....and they’re signed.....and no they’re not for sale :P although......I’m willing to listen to offers over £5000 as then I can finance my new car ;)

vix: i was wondering about the Ebay bid, if they were real or why the item is not available anymore?

I’ve just clicked on the link in the first post and it’s working fine for me, the page with the item loads.
sonicboy2002de said on January 7, 2004 20:51:
The auction started at 20:00 - so thats probably why you couldn’t see it - sorry! So if you try it now: it is REAL!
Greetinx,
Jens.

Are they washed—Judith, you made me laugh. If only for the fact that I was thinking who the hell wants a pair of sweaty, stinky rock-star pants, but apparently there’s a call for that sort of thing. . .
Vixzter said on January 8, 2004 06:26:
@RoXoR: used to like it ;) Heineken is ok ....but i prefer Amstel if I’m drinking Dutch beer.
The poster on my wall was stolen from a pub for a dare ;)
Jud (moderator) said on January 8, 2004 08:19:
MM: if i am to buy a pair of 2nd hand trousers, at least they should be clean :P
ally77 said on January 8, 2004 10:18:
I really wanted to bid for these, but the seller does not take paypal, and I’ll be damned if I am sending cash to Germany...
Markuz said on January 8, 2004 18:42:
From the item’s description: “Originally I got this jeans from EMI in London and we had planned to use it a for the German fanclub. Somehow that never happenend”
Aha! So THAT’s what the fanclub does with all the stuff they get from EMI!
sonicboy2002de said on January 8, 2004 19:50:
Now with paypal :-)
According to many requests I have added paypal as a payment-choice.
Good luck! :-)

jeez! talking bout “rare” (expensive) stuff...
Jud (moderator) said on January 8, 2004 23:19:
it’s a harmonica (look at the pics) :S I wonder, does it have spits? ;)
tevensso (moderator) said on January 9, 2004 00:21:
Probably dried now... :) €299??? I have no words.
Max-Tob said on January 9, 2004 08:47:
What’s the size?? everybody’s asking and nobody’s answering this!! C’mon, I’m just curious, I’m not gonna buy those jeans, but I’d like to know Per’s size from those times... I bet he has a different size now, but anyway...
Iertje_ said on January 9, 2004 09:36:
Just to clear up things: Markuz: the german fc was not connected to the Official Roxette Fanclub you know now. I can assure you we have no jeans from Per hiding in our closet to come out in ten years on e-bay for a lot of money ;)
ally77 said on January 9, 2004 09:38:
@ Sonicboy.. thanx for adding the paypal option! much apprecited!
Kiwein1 said on January 9, 2004 10:37:
@max-tob: Just read the article’s description, the size is 33.
Jud (moderator) said on January 9, 2004 16:31:
indeed, Markuz, the German fanclub was not connected to the Official Fanclub in NL... so it’s not “So THAT’s what the fanclub does with all the stuff they get from EMI!” but “So THAT’s what the (ex) GERMAN fanclub does with all the stuff they get from EMI!”
Btw, may I ask why the trousers were never used for the FC? (I guess for a contest?)
Are these trousers the ones that were showed in a Bravo article long ago talking about a big Rox fan or the German fanclub or sth? And also on tv?
ATLTK said on January 9, 2004 16:41:
I agree with tev: 299 € = no words thats much
but what does it say I dont understand german so .
personally i´m not intrested in it wonder if anyone want it
sonicboy2002de said on January 9, 2004 20:57:
To clear things up once and forever:
We got this jeans from EMI as a present to us and it was never mandatory for us to give this thing away in a contest. This actually was our idea at some place.
Once me and the people doing the fanclub with me were really big fans and this jeans meant very much to us - so we kept it for ourselves - that’s why it never went into a contest.
And please don’t forget: we were and we still are fans of Roxette :-) Even if still not to this extend anymore; that’s why I sell it, to give it to someone who appreciates it more nowadays. (And that to a price that will be far lower than 299 €, by the way *g*).
And: yes it is the jeans from the bravo article and on tv, and that BIG ROX FAN is ME :-) –> just in case you were wondering.
Well, that’s my last word on this topic :-)
ROX ON!
Jens

Peppermint said on January 10, 2004 09:59:
Also ehrlich Jens!! Dass du dich traust hier noch was anzubieten wundert mich. Wo doch jede Menge Mitglieder deines Rox-Fanclubs nach der Auflösung nie das Geld für die bezahlten aber nicht mehr erschienenen Clubzeitungen zurückbekommen haben. UNGLAUBLICH!!!
little-miss-sorrow said on January 10, 2004 10:50:
yeah! that’s what came to my mind reading this. maybe now after all these years you’ll have the money to pay back your depts?! you still owe me some magazines. never heard of you again after you disappeared... pff.
all i can say to this is LOL!
Jud (moderator) said on January 10, 2004 11:37:
peppermint: pls post in English so we all can read.. or shall I translate?
Jud (moderator) said on January 10, 2004 11:41:
can you? ;) I understand it but not sure of how to translate some stuff.. thanks :P

———–
I can’t translate “also ehrlich”.. :-)
How dare you offer things here? A lot of members of your fanclub have paid for the Fanzines that haven’t ever been released and you still owe them a lot of money!.UNBELIEVABLE!
Jud (moderator) said on January 10, 2004 11:49:
LOL I couldn’t translate those first words either :P Ok so not my fault :D
Do 30.50€ pay for some fanzines? ;)
Kiwein1 said on January 10, 2004 11:51:
Actually, there isn’t any translation that fits..*thinks*..you could compare it with: to be honest, Jens...

I translate it as this...
Thus honest Jens!! The fact that you you trust here still what to offer surprises me. Where, nevertheless, a lot of members of your Rox-fan’s club after the resolution the money have never got back for the paid-up however no more appeared club newspapers. INCREDIBLY!!!
ally77 said on January 10, 2004 15:17:
He He.. kind of used this IE explorer translator! so funny what it can do!!
Denstandigaresan said on January 10, 2004 15:19:
Ally, when it works. ;) 90% of the time, don’t make much sense! Tis good going through the other forums though, on r2r, see what’s going on!
ally77 said on January 10, 2004 18:36:
They are currently going for 90 euros or £63!
**edit** nope seems the person backed out so we are back to £22 or 30.50 euros!
Vixzter said on January 10, 2004 18:50:
At the end of the day its only a pair of jeans, the person that wins them will probably never ever wear them as they’ll be scared they’ll get damaged etc, they’ll spend the rest of the time shut in a cupboard (trust me I know)
If someone is prepared to pay whatever then let them ......... who cares anyway ;)
Maybe I’m just not a big collector anymore (mainly coz I can’t afford to be)....but I just don’t see what all the fuss is about ;) its just a pair of secound hand jeans afterall ;)
Max-Tob said on January 10, 2004 19:09:
Ha!Ha!Ha! And besides, they’re old fashioned!! I’d pay even more for Per’s Mazarin concert’s jeans and I swear I’d wear them!!!
ally77 said on January 10, 2004 19:13:
@ Vixzter... yeah you would say that... you got a pair... ;)
I have no intention of wearing them if I win them! (I would have a job!) just something nice to hold on.... and of course will increase in value esp as they are signed!
Vixzter said on January 10, 2004 19:17:
i didn’t pay for mine and they’re signed also :P
mine got the 110% authenticity guarentee......Per saying ’hey my jeans!’ when he signed em ;)
still....if u wannabid go ahead......i just wonder what they’ll be worth in a few years.....nout probably ;)
ally77 said on January 10, 2004 22:11:
Nah most signed items are worth money in years to come.. not talking 10 years down the line.. more like 30/40 years!
Vixzter said on January 11, 2004 09:49:
When no one what so ever will have any idea as to who Roxette were :P
LittleGirl78 said on January 11, 2004 15:41:
OK. the mundharmonica for 299EUR should be a original mundharmonica from Per, what he played on one concert, and she get it from a security because she cried, Per kick a stuffed animal away and she see that personality and cry, so Per gift her the mundharmonica.
That she says, but anyway.....if I would get a mundharmonica from Per I would never sell that, and Per gift this because of crying? I´m not sure is that true.
And also if that is true I find 299EUR for a harmonica too expensive. :o

LittleGirl78 said on January 12, 2004 20:15:
For 211 EUR??? o)
For this money I buy you 3 throusers. o)
Really much money........
rox-obsessed said on January 12, 2004 20:20:
@Littlegirl
Well i’t’s not a normal pair of trousers!
It’s Pers and he wore it during the Joyride era in which i think they wore great clothes!
I always dreamed about wearing per clothes and i think my dream has come thrue now!!
But i agree it’s a lot of money
gyllene_tjej said on January 12, 2004 20:24:
congrats then! :) I truly share your ´joy. I would also buy a pair if i had money. I don’t think we shall discuss further how expensive it got... there will always be some things in life ( like collections) one would spend the last $ on, just to become a proud owner.
LittleGirl78 said on January 12, 2004 20:37:
@rox-obsessed: Yes it´s Per´s jeans, yes, congrats ;-)
I think it´s worth, only for me too expensive, but cool to have it´s of course, so you must be happy.
Congratulations :-)
ally77 said on January 12, 2004 21:16:
Damn.. I forgot the auction was ending! ohhhhhhhhh now what will I spend my money on!
lonely_girl said on January 12, 2004 21:19:
huh, fortunately I did not read this thread before... Otherwise I could have got seduced to bid too... I should not spend my money for stuff like that... *LOL*
Vixzter said on January 7, 2004 17:06:
