Fan snaps up Madonna's old undies
It could perhaps be described as a niche market but such is the continued fame of US pop star Madonna that a pair of her black, lacy knickers - guaranteed pre-worn - have sold for $A2,372.
The underwear was worn by the 46-year-old star in 1993 film Body of Evidence.
It was sold by a lapdancing club in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Private Eyes Gentleman's Club bought the knickers from a costume shop in Hollywood and kept them in a glass case on a wall, but after a re-fit decided they should be sold on Internet auction site eBay.
Club owner Tony Cochrane said the auction was abandoned after eBay contacted him to say such already-worn garments could not be sold under its rules.
However one US-based fan, who had already made a bid, contacted him to arrange a private sale.
"We are delighted to have sold them and are just sorting out final fees so the underwear can be transported to America," Mr Cochrane said.
"It was always our intention to sell them to a true fan and we are happy with the sale."
