I recently acquired an old canoe which was owned by Elvis in the 60s and was influential in a lot of his later hits. Its an early GRP *Rob Roy* type kayak / canoe hybrid. Barn find.
Anyway the paperwork relating to thw original ownership /provenance is a bit tatty so I am offering it here for £175,000.00 before delivering it to Christie's in January.
I anticipate huge interest so would suggest any Elvis fans contact me post haste.
In case anyone doesn't know who Elvis was he was this geyser

I have an original picture of the Beatles stopping off on my platform No1*, let me know who you are auctioning the canoe with and maybe I'll join in.
*Ok it might be from a neighbouring station and might not be an original but that is for the buyer to decide.
ETa, I think it was taken during filming of A Hards Days Night

I don't have a snotty handkerchief that once belonged to Marylin Monroe.

I've got a pair of Shania Twain's knickers which I stole from her laundry basket when I delivered some recording equipment to her house in Switzerland, but they're not for sale.

I'm well up for this and fully accept the veracity of the provenance. Where do we go from here? Please furnish me with your full bank details to include Sort Code, Account Number and the trivial, meaningless 3 (three) figure number on the back of your card as a matter of urgency so I may expedite full payment of cleared funds soonest.

Myself I have some very ancient coins that I picked up at an archelogical site nearby about 20 years ago.
The area where I'm living in Burgundy is full of very ancient history, and they're discovering more every day.
Shortly after they'd started in my area there was no- or a very bad protection of the site, without any gardians, cameras weren't used yet.
Together with a mate we dug up some very old coins, I managed to find 4 of them all dated 275 B.C stamped on them.
As I'm in the urgent need of hard cash, I'm considering selling these too, possibly at the same auction.
Please if you're interested, don't wait as I'm sure many collectors will be ready to bite my arm off for these rare coins.
Don't ask for photos, as because of the age of these rare coins, I don't want to take any risks damaging them with the flash.
Peter.

You'll have to book a viewing slot and inspect the goods in person before arranging payment.

What the estate agent said to dad is its normally one the earlier viewers that go for a property...,he wanted to hang out for full asking price....in the end he did agree to one of the earlier offers.. Good luck with the sale and I hope it goes through OK this time...

This auction will indeed be the sale of the century..... I've been wrestling with my conscience as I am a big Elvis fan and I actually really want to keep the canoe. I came to the conclusion that if I am to sell it Its now or never.

I came to the conclusion that if I am to sell it Its now or never. Before you're going to do something that you may regret for the rest of your life, you should maybe lay down against your Elvis canoe, with an earplug in one ear, and with the other ear against the canoe, do this in the middle of the night when there are no-, or at least less disturbing noices around, then put one arm around the canoe, and listen. Don't be surprised if you hear (probably very softly) that your canoe will tell you something like : "Come hold me tight, Kiss me my darling, Be mine tonight, Tomorrow will be too late (if you auction me), It's now or never, My love won't wait".
