It was an amazing week with two one-of-a-kind vinyl treasures selling above $10k. The Sex Pistols had a shot at overtaking the Beatles, but of course fate never shows the good taste it should, and the Beatles White Album #0000006 sold for $21,411.15 with 74 bids from a starting bid of $1452.34. The Sex Pistols "God Save TheQueen" promo 45 sold for $11,798.00.

 

Two selling points of this record were first that it came from the collection of John Lennon's former limo driver. And second, it was sold by Beatles expert Perry Cox, so one can be as sure as sure can be that the record indeed came from the afore mentioned limo driver.

 

An amazing amount to pay for one album.

 

 

 

 

I was watching that auction..that's quite a chunk of change. :o

Well it is special considering John had #0000001; Paul had 0000002; George had 0000003; Ringo had 0000004 & producer George Martin had 0000005.

I wonder who got #7,8,9 & 10?

I know..my dad told me that as he is a big Beatles fan. :)

I kinda had my eye on this particular auction, but, I knew it was way out of my price range, especially with an opening bid of $1400.00..I thought I was nuts for getting a rare cd for $405.00, but, this shows me, that there's plenty of hard core collectors out there, willing to pay anything for something they want badly enough
