They have a ton of stuff for auction but I dunno...all the starting prices seem kinda steep to me.
Someone bid $600 on a "supposedly used by Cobain" pick...

Carlos “CDawg” DC, lead guitarist for Slow Hands Band, a New Jersey-based Eric Clapton tribute act, said he would probably pass on the 1954 Fender Stratocaster that Slowhand himself used for slide guitar playing, even if he had the $2 million to spend on it.

“If I had a million and a half, two million, I’m not spending it on Clapton’s hard-tail guitar that he only used for slide,” said CDawg, who asked that his off-stage name not be used. “We’ll let Joe Bonamassa buy it.”


The guitar is on the block at a New Jersey auction house specializing in musical instruments and other collectables. The bidding officially began Nov. 25 and ends Friday night, says auction house Gotta Have Rock and Roll in Franklin Lakes. The minimum opening bid, which hadn’t yet been placed as of Tuesday, is set at a cool $1 million.

This seems to be...perhaps.... a better deal...

Chuck Berry owned guitar for 200k

I'ld rather follow Keif around NYC and get one of his cigarette butts for free.

I reckon I could retire on the money it'd take to buy this (especially after auction fees). Too rich for my blood.
