Thousands of Elvis Presley-themed items from the kitschy collection of the late Paul MacLeod are going up for auction.
The Elvis super fan, who operated his home as Graceland Too, a roadside museum dedicated to the 'King of rock n roll', died last summer and his estate is selling memorabilia including albums, ceramic figurines and commemorative plates this weekend, reported Independent online.
It is also selling MacLeod's pink Cadillac, a non-functioning electric chair he made in a tribute to Jailhouse Rock, and the house itself in Holly Springs, north Mississippi.
The museum - not affiliated with Presley's Graceland estate in nearby Memphis, Tennessee - was a late-night favourite of intoxicated college students and tourists.
Lawyer Phillip Knecht, who represents MacLeod's estate, says there is no minimum bid on the items.
