eBay watch: Limited edition Paul Smith-designed Mini

Ps_mini

I'll be honest, this is probably the most modern eBay find we've ever done. But it is a classic / original Mini and not just any older Mini – it's a limited edition Paul Smith-designed Mini.

Yes, Mary Quant wasn't the only fashion designer to get her hands on the Mini, Paul Smith did so too in 1999, with 300 of his themed Minis offered for sale. How many are left? That's anyone's guess – but almost certainly less.

For your money, you get a standard (for the time) 1275cc Mini, but packed with extras, including a 24ct gold badge on the bonnet, a British Isles badge on the grill, citrus green 'hidden parts', a denim jack bag, body coloured dashboard, black leather seats and plenty of Paul Smith branding. Condition seems fine, with the odd mark here and there, but at £1,500, it seems a reasonable price.

Roy Lichtenstein-inspired POW(ER) limited edition print by Obey

Power

Classic pop art gets a contemporary twist with the Roy Lichtenstein-inspired POW(ER) limited edition print by Obey.

Obey is, of course, the brand of Shepard Fairey and is his homage to influential pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, who, in his time, used and re-painted existing comic frames to give them new meaning. Fairey has done something similar with a classic Lichtenstein image, throwing in a reference to modern-day street art for good measure.

The final work is an 18 x 24-inch screenprint, signed and numbered in a run of 450 and certain to be a valuable piece o years to come. But right now you can pick it up for $45. It goes on sale 'at a random time' on the site today.

Rolling Stones limited edition numbered vinyl box set collections

Stones_vinyl

If you've ever wanted to own the complete works of the Rolling Stones in vinyl, November 22nd 2010 should be pencilled into your diary – that the shelf date of the Rolling Stones limited edition numbered vinyl box set collections.

Two sets, one covering 1964 – 1969, the other taking in 1971 – 2005. Every release from those years is included on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, including the first five albums in mono, the early EPs and collections such as the 'Big Hits' and Metamorphosis. The Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) album even appears in its original octagonal cover.

If you want the full breakdown of just what's included, check out our Electric Roulette site for that. Otherwise, sit tight and start saving. No price as yet, but we wouldn't be surprised if these went for around £200 each.
