11 October 2011: A Japanese pressing of Brand New Age, autographed by the then line-up sold on e-Bay for £66.00plus postage. This is roughly in-line with prices for good quality copies of this unusual release with the Promo copies fetching slightly more.
21 June 2011: A red vinyl copy of Work in Progress with plectrum and promo cd have sold on the US e-Bay site for $133.00 plus postage. Clearly a future collectable, limited to 120 copies that sold out in days, Subs fans on the other side of the pond clearly missed out first time.

11 April 2011: A test pressing of This Gun Says has sold on e-Bay for $58.00 plus postage. Only listed on the US version of the auction site, this would have gone higher if listed internationaly and as test pressings go, this was a bit of a bargain.

6 April 2011: A misspressed label 'Teenage' 7" single has sold on e-Bay for £26-00. Click on the below screen print for more details.
5 April 2011: A copy of the Fan Club 'Party In Paris' one sided single (sung in French by Charlie) has sold on e-Bay for £156.00 plus postage. Quite staggering that a release that usually sells for around £40 should go so high and that there should be such a lot of bidders (13 bids in the end). Maybe something to do with the current high level of interest in the band. Click on the screenprint below to enlarge.
