Osbourne Auction Rakes in Thousands

Have you ever raked in thousands of dollars from a garage sale? If you answered no, you should take pointers from the Osbournes.

MTV.com reported that, this past weekend, an auction of items from Sharon and Ozzy's closet raised more than $800,000 for the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation, according to Reuters.

A bat-adorned coat once owned by the Prince of Darkness himself sold for more than $3,300. Among the other items sold were a pair of skull-adorned sneakers ($2,625), a pair of Ozzy's wire-rimmed sunglasses ($5,250), the beaded wire model of the Eiffel Tower seen in the family's kitchen on “The Osbournes” show ($10,000), Ozzy's floral Mary Rose Young tea cup ($1,625) and the family's custom pool table ($11,250).

Bloomberg reported that the devil's head plaque that hung on the family's front door, expected to fetch $1,200, sold for $8,750, but a 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur that was expected to go for more than $160,000 got no bids, nor did a 1950 Oldsmobile Futuramic 88 Club Coupe once owned by romance author Danielle Steel that was thought to be worth $40,000-$50,000. Seriously, who needs a car when you can take off in a bat-adorned coat?
