Yeah- We Sold That. The Second Edition

On this second edition of "Yeah- We Sold That" we have some pretty cool shit- we sold a freakin' DINOSAUR, people!

Triceratops

Between 65-67 Million BC, discovered in 2004, North Dakota, USA.

Estimate: On Request
Sold for: 592,000 Euro


A hot pink cocktail dress worn by Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's, 1961

Estimate: $20,000- 30,000

Sold for: $192,000

A Huntley & Palmers biscuit from the stores of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1908-1909, Cape Royds, lat. 77°33'S, long. 166°07'E

Estimate: £1,000-1,500

Sold for: Well... A gentleman called up on the day of the sale to find out how much the biscuit had sold for because he worked for Huntley & Palmers and would be writing an article on how a "biscuit for god's sakes!" could sell at Chritie's! He even promised to send us a tin full so we could all rejoice together at the sale of one silly biscuit at Christie's!! So when I told him that it didn't sell- "what?? did not sell?" he was expectantly disappointed... and we never did get that tin full of biscuits.
