SLASH To Sell Car, Guitars In Julien's Auction
February 15, 2011, 13 years ago
According to Reuters, SLASH (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) has teamed up with a Beverly Hills auction house to sell a wide range of personal property to fans and collectors next month.
Buyers with a passion for skulls and dinosaurs will be in luck, along with those whose living rooms would sparkle with exotic Southeast Asian furniture.
A sizable share of the proceeds from the March 26 sale will go to charity, according to Julien's Auctions, which specializes in selling entertainment memorabilia.
Auctioneer Darren Julien said he expected most of the items to end up overseas, particularly in Japan and other Asian markets where Guns N' Roses are still revered.
One of the perils of being a successful rock star for more than 20 years is that money buys a lot of clutter.
"I have a bad habit of collecting stuff that I don't necessarily use," Slash told Reuters.The crown jewel is a 1966 Corvette Stingray, estimated to sell for at least $90,000 to $100,000, and described by Slash as "a monster of a car."
