How much money would you cough up to own strange artifacts from the Prince vault? That’s a question both his ex-wife, Mayte Garcia, and ex-manager, Owen Husney, have posed to the masses with a new auction open to the public in which they’re selling dozens of Prince rarities you won’t find on Ebay. If you’ve ever dreamed about being betrothed to the man/myth/legend, your role-playing fantasizes can now be dramatically improved by owning the actual 2.2-carat-diamond engagement ring Prince gave to Garcia — but only if you’re ready to part with at least $100,000 — as well as the heart-shaped notes he used to propose to her with (awwwww), and her wedding dress.
Why let the fun stop there? To kink up the honeymoon, you can also bust out a pair of $10,000 rhinestone-encrusted handcuffs, the same ones Prince used on Garcia during “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” on Soul Train.
And obviously, no Prince wedding cosplay can be complete without the goblets and china from the ceremony, which just so happen to have Prince’s love symbol all over them. Also up for grabs: Prince’s Gibson L-series 6-string acoustic guitar, several demos and unreleased songs, handwritten “In Love” lyrics, and lots and lots of scarves, among other bits of fashion. The bidding starts March 17, just in time for you to blow your tax refund!
