Anna Nicole Smith’s Diaries fetch more than $500,000 on Ebay
Unless you’re holding a secret that someone’s willing to pay for, I’d imagine that most of our diaries, while priceless, might only fetch a few dollars at best. If the diaries are written by the late Anna Nicole Smith, the price equation might changes.
Two of the late reality TV star’s diaries where sold at auction on Ebay this week and combined fetched more than $612,500 with the buyer’s premium added. According to many press accounts, the buyer, a German business man, plans to sell the details of the diaries to the press and turn around and sell the actual diaries later in the year.
According to the company that sold the items, the diaries included the following entries:
“It was a okay day,” June 11, 1992. “I had lunch with Howard. Someone ran over my cat yesterday. I was real sad.”
In a 1994 entry, she wrote about his illness. “My husbands very weak. Theres nothing I can do,” she wrote. “I want each hour to comfort him with medicines and prayers.”
Other items of interest in this sale included multiple receipts and canceled checks including one receipt for jewelry purchased by billionaire Howard Marshall that sold for $2,200.
So is did the buyer of the diaries overpay?
