I imagine you could sell Eric Clapton or Jerry Garcia's soiled Fruit of the Looms for a staggering price as well.

Thanks for the link.

All are very expensive through exclusivity associated with celebrity and not associated with materials, craftsmanship or a master maker. In general, pricing is based upon exclusivity by celebrity < age < maker. What is interesting, is more often than not, instrument performance frequently works in just the opposite way...

Expensive and historic. Clapton's Blackie sold back in '04. Good chance it could sell for more now. All you need is two bidders going against each other.

What's with the fascination with price tags or celebrity? Are you Chinese?
