Nine Inch Nails Selling Gear on EBay

8:27 a.m. · November 30, 2009 · by Nick Neyland

Trent Reznor is well known for being a flip-flopper, but he’s doing his best to keep his promise about hauling Nine Inch Nails off the road. Reznor claimed that Nine Inch Nails played their last ever live show in September, and he is now selling off the band’s equipment in an attempt to put the past firmly behind him.

Several instruments used by the band are already for sale on EBay, and “hundreds” more pieces of equipment are expected to be put up on the auction site in the coming weeks. At present, it's mostly guitars that are on the site, and many of them have already reached four-figure sums.

A statement about the sale has been issued on the Nine Inch Nails website:

“We've been going through the NIN touring and studio rigs and are getting rid of a large selection of gear and equipment the band is no longer in need of. We do not know which (if any) tour these items are from unless specified, nor can we get any items autographed, so please do not ask."
