Wacky stuff can bring in big money under the right circumstances.
Memorabilia from Ozzy Osbourne’s Beverly Hills mansion and his family's MTV show, "The Osbournes" went up for auction on Friday and Saturday. Heavy Metal fans joined fine art collectors in a bidding frenzy that attracted buyers from as far away as Germany.
More than 500 lots were sold. Among the collectibles offered were a coat with embroidered bats and sneakers with skulls on them. Links were created on Ebay for each item of the Osbourne’s auction so that those not able to attend could place absentee bids.
The bat coat sold for $3,300, the skull sneakers brought in $2,625 and a pair of the rocker’s trademark round glasses went for $5,250. In total, the auction brought in $800,000.
It was a charity sale conducted by Julien’s Auctions in West Hollywood, California to support Sharon Osbourne's Colon Cancer Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Sharon, age 55, was treated for cancer five years ago.
