Most music fans have a treasured memento or two, whether it be the sweaty t-shirt or end-of-show drumstick caught in the crowd, or just the long-treasured ticket stub. But pop idol souvenirs can get a lot stranger - and pricier - than that. If you have the devotion and the cash to spare, almost anything formerly owned by the artist of your choice can be yours.

10 of the most bizarre things sold at music auctions

1. John Lennon's school detention sheet and tooth
2. Mask of David Bowie's face made for The Hunger
3. Britney's used chewing gum.
4. Elvis's used backgammon board and suede shoe spray

6. Madonna's old credit card
7. Jerry Lee Lewis's nose ointment
8. William Shatner's kidney stone

Thanks for a good laugh!

I really can't say anything positive about people these days, rich or not, because Trump happened. People have gone completely bonkers, at least 50% of them.
They can steal our money, but they cannot steal our souls... and laughter!

 

Like it !!!

 

Don't laugh, there's serious medicine in Willie Nelson's pigtails...serious mojo a'workin'.

 

yeah I actually put a bid in thinking they would suit me and have the secondary benefit of some Willie mojo rubbing off but dont ya know someone outbid me at the last second ...drat !

 

At a show I did in 2014 I once sold a copy of my debut studio album from 2007. Featuring me pounding away at a Casio CTK-411 keyboard in my parents basement & some goofy comedy stuff. Only 6 copies are floating around out there & knowing how bad it was I wouldn't be surprised if all 6 were used as a pee-pee pads for the most frequent shitting animals at the local zoo. Lol

 

@Impressive but retro is cool now. Those tracks could be blasting away some kids eardrums on an iPhone somewhere right now...who knows? One day you may even hear them sampled on some DJ's monster hit track?
Casio CTK-411's still sell on eBay and i believe sadly at Goodwill thrift stores. Happy memories though hey
Only 6 original copies of your album ever made! that would bump their auction price up a bit ! ...and they have got to be worth more the Britney's used chewing gum for sure !
