[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 212521, member: 1136"]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[/QUOTE]
