Tate/Manson

care to splain that ???

 

Explain the marketing?

 

I won't be getting any money from the sale..?????

 

Oh, I just work for the company, my boss collects the commission

 

& you keep getting a paycheck.......I got it !

 

What I don't understand is that some of Manson's followers were released. If they were crazy enough to kill people because he said so, they're crazy enough to do anything. I had a friend who lived in the NH town that Squeaky Fromme moved to after she got out. I told him I hoped he kept his doors locked at night!

 

Ugh, i know. I'll admit I'm a little weary about who might show up that night

 

Well, it's all said and done.

The bed received international attention and received all sorts of feedback.

Sharon Tate lovers were enthralled, many everyday people were appalled (Internet warriors).

We ran it live and online and had 2 phone bidders; one a celebrity, the other a huge Sharon Tate fan.
By the time the lot opened it was already at $5,500 online.
Online bidding stopped at about $11,500 and the phone bidding started.
Back and forth it went till it stalled around $13,000 while the celebrity debated if they wanted to go any higher.
They went $13,500 and was immediately rebuttaled at $14,000.
The celebrity was out.
When the hammer fell the crowd cheered and the winner began crying because they were so happy to own something Sharon once had in the home she once loved.

Im honestly going to miss the bed.
It had a personality of its own. After cleaning it a couple times, setting it up and taking it down more than a few times...
It really grew on many of us.


There's video of it on YouTube of the auction if anyone cares to watch it

 

Amazing...Thanks for the follow up

 

I missed most of this, but if I had been current with the discussion I would have asked if the piece was Tate's BEFORE she moved into the house, or was it a piece that Candy Bergen sold to Tate when she moved OUT of the house (shortly before the tragedy). I know that Candy lived there for a while when she was in a clandestine relationship with "What'sHisName" (son of some famous singer??). There was speculation at the time that either he and/or Bergen were the actual targets, but Manson was not aware that they had moved (when Candy's mother found out she was LIVING with a man).

disclaimer: No - regardless of my moniker, I am NOT related to Manson....................in any way, size, shape or form......

 

83 or not, whenever Manson was up for parole, he was asked if he had any remorse and if he'd do it again, his answers were 'no' and 'yes', respectively. Back to his cell. Maybe he does it because he has enough sense to make sure he stays in there.

I read 'Helter Skelter' when I was about 16, and it scared the heck out of me, because it was true. I still remember some of the gory (literally) details.

 

Wellllll, scratch that book off my reading list...........I DO like sleeping at night
