In the United States, Elvis’s personal belongings were sold. A strand of hair has gone for $ 15 thousand

On the eve of Chicago, Elvis Presley’s personal belongings were sold, which brought about 100 thousand dollars auction house to the Leslie Hindman house. Even a strand of the singer’s hair, which he was cut off during the army service in 1958, left the hammer, writes The Los Angeles Times .

It is known that all 200 lots put up for auction, including the Christmas cards and wedding photographs of 1967 signed by Elvis, until recently were in the collection of Gary Pepper, a devoted admirer and fan of Presley.

The most expensive lot was the king’s white shirt with an EP monogram, American John Urso bought it for 52 thousand dollars. He gave another 28 thousand dollars for a red suede shirt. However, a fan will not be able to wear things a singer - they are not enough for him. In addition, in his opinion, it will be terribly insulting by accidentally shed sauce from spaghetti to the shirt, which touched the body of the king Rock-n Roll. As URSO told reporters, shirts will replenish his collection - the fan already has several albums with the singer's autograph.

But the American did not dare to buy a curl of Presley. Looking at the "insignificant" price, the fan almost bought a strand, but thought: "What will I do with my hair?" - And refused to buy. Nevertheless, part of the singer’s body nevertheless left for 15 thousand dollars to another, unnamed buyer.
