    Some nice chairs, childhood photo and poster.

    I don't understand why the bracelet went so much higher than other stuff like contracts and jump suits.

    The furniture set was pretty nice, but not $40,000 nice.

    This was a long while back I think 2009. I won't say how much was paid for it (though it probably says on this results listing) but a certain person in my family is the proud owner of a SEX MACHINE belt from his Sex Machine tour. It sits perched on a mantle in Philadelphia. We were all surprised at how poorly this auction did as a whole at that time.

    2009 wasn't a good year for selling stuff like this.
    Might have done a lot better in 2006.

    How much for the gold platters. Preferably one with vintage soul food meal.
