This auction post goes out to the one percent of America who can afford it — a $19,875,000 estate. And believe it or not, this marks a price reduction; down from $28,000,000. However, just by looking at a poor-quality image of this estate, you can tell it’s worth at least the asking price.
This amazing mansion overlooks gorgeous Park City, Utah. Perched on five acres of land, this estate boasts three grand levels, which provide views of the Jordanelle Reservoir, Bald Mountain and Park City. Despite its vast square footage, there are countless fine details still very apparent about this home. You certainly wouldn’t have to be ashamed playing host in a place like this!

This 1979 Harley-Davidson SuperGlide FXE could add an interesting element to your daily ride to work. It features an NOS Direct Injection System with an elecrtic fuel pump — I’m assuming you’d get some pretty bad ass wheelies goin’ with this system. It may be the first motorcycle to require a seatbelt! Nitrous oxide is made up of two parts nitrogen and one part oxygen. These components serve to burn more fuel, create higher cylinder pressure, and significantly reduces intake charge temperatures, adding up to one rippin’ ride.
Even if you never ride it, I’m sure you’d get plenty of people wanting to talk to you about it — nice attention getter.

Nobody seems to know her name, and yet she still proves to be the world’s best-known woman from Waikiki — it’s the dashboard hula girl! This is one of those items that you simply can’t believe that it’s made millions. It’s the type of product that helps striving young inventors get up in the morning, knowing that there is something out there that won’t require much thought, but can make them rich beyond their wildest dreams.
Not only is the dashboard hula girl fun for other drivers to see dancing in your window, it’s just got to be a major item of Americana iconology by now.

Now here’s a jersey you won’t find on the shelves of any athletic clothing store — an authentic David Ortiz jersey recently unearthed from Yankee Stadium. Oh yeah, you read it write, Yankee Stadium! Apparently, a Red Sox-faithful construction worker secretly buried Senor Papi’s jersey in the concrete of the new Yankee Stadium, wishing to put a hex on the new ballpark.
However, Yankees President Randy Levine soon found out and had the jersey uprooted before the curse had time to cast its ugly shadow over the stadium.

First off, sorry to offend any proud owners, but Dinobots should have stayed in the Jurasic epoch. I did have an awesome pair of glow-in-the-dark Dinobot pajamas, but that’s beside the point. Now, on to more serious matters. I’d bet a good amount of money, that children of the eighties can name more dead/damaged transformers than they can dead presidents. And what’s up with significantly more Autobots being killed than Decepticons? It’s just like G.I. Joe — the COBRA’s weaponry and vehicles were always so much cooler, but they always lost.
Check out a good guy that didn’t bite the bot bolt, a first-generation Soundwave; complete with accessories.

In my humble opinion, the Transformers should have never transformed from their first generation status. I’m not just saying that from a nostalgic viewpoint. Yes, the recent movie was pretty damn cool, but much like the more recent cartoons (um, so I’ve been told), they give up authentic action for blurry, rapid collages of spinning clips meant to boggle the brain and feign amazing events. Give me the old days when what you see is what you get, while still being able to perceive “more than meets the eye.”
Check out this auction for the ultra bad ass SkyWarp. This is a genuine first-generation transformer.

Madonna was recently reported to have “immediately embraced the idea” of using a globe as the backdrop for her Vanity Fair cover. Well, that seems par for the course of super-superstars. But hasn’t anyone learned any lessons from Tony Montana and his obsession with the globe, featuring “The World Is Yours”?
But if you’ve got over $13,500, then bid hard and go home with the Madonna-autographed globe and two tickets to a special Madonna performance in New York City. Making this deal even sweeter is that all of the sale’s proceeds go to Madonna’s Raising Malawi organization.

I once saw Pearl Jam perform live at the Bridge School Benefit concert in Oakland, CA. The genre for the concert is pretty special. Hosted by Neil Young every year, the concerts deliver mind-bending all-acoustic sets. It featured some bands you’d never have even begun to think of what they sound like acoustically. For example, the deep, heavy electronica of Trent Reznor’s NIN surprisingly made for an awesome acoustic set.
Here’s a Gibson Guitar that has been blessed by the mighty Mike McCready while he played with Neil Young. Born of his riff rocketing fingers and sacrificed on stage in a smashing so long and funeral fire farewell, this guitar deeply embodies rock and roll.

If there was ever such a thing as Chinese bagpipes, this would certainly be it. According to the auctioneer: “These are deep cultural intension in China.” I hope the auctioneer is either a Chinese native or five years old. I’m assuming they meant that this particular instrument has a rich cultural significance.
Whether you’re a collector of unique instruments, looking for a new musical challenge, or are homeless and looking to get the edge on the other bums playing on your corner, this Chinese gourd flute looks like it will get the job done.

You know something’s genuine when it’s signed and authenticated on the ass. This is an auction for a very rare Barbie doll number one. Now, I may not be one for dolls, but if I had over $5,000 petty cash laying around, even I’d consider bidding on what’s sure to only increase in value as a highly collectible item.
I still have to chuckle though when I think of all the controversy this little sweetheart has caused. With anatomical proportions that would make Darwin’s head spin, poor little Barbie has often been dissed for encouraging unhealthy body images. I still think she’s pretty darn cute though.

Baseball cards may not be doing well in the trading world, but comics are still king. This Silver Age Comics piece boasts the Action Comics Collection. And on its pedestal is the first appearance of superman. That’s right folks, this is the iconic Action Comics number one — still in good condition.
If you submit the winning bid for this prize, and receive this holy grail of comics, I’m not sure you’d be able to ever resell such a treasure. But if you’re in it purely for the resale value, then this will surely make for a sound investment. Talk about an amazing graduation present for your kid. Can you imagine the value of this comic in just a few more years?

The Twin Towers will forever be one of the biggest losses to the United States. It joins Pearl Harbor in the ugly world of terrorism that has struck our country an eternal blow. Having said such, is it too early to make even the smallest profit from anything involving the Twin Towers? Unless one hundred percent of the proceeds are going to a non-profit organization, I say it’s still too early.
This auction not only makes some profit, but actually features an airplane in one of the towers. So I encourage you to search eBay for meaningful items that fully support victims of this tragedy, not completely tasteless art.
