If there’s ever a collectable from “The King” it would have to be Elvis’ piano that he played at home in Graceland. It was sited in the music room for over twelve years until replaced with a gold leaf covered one, a gift from Priscilla Presley. Now up for sale on eBay with a starting price of $250,000 it will take a fan with deep pockets to win this auction. The piano is looking in fantastic condition, as well it might – there aren’t too many piano’s with a history to match this one.
There’s another old, knocked about upright piano on eBay, that most people wouldn’t give a second glance. It’s covered in dust, legs badly scuffed and not particularly attractive in the first place. This one was played by Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Ricky Nelson, Patty Smith and The Pretenders, while it was owned by Springsteen’s girlfriend, Lynn Goldsmith. She had it in her New York apartment and later in her studio where the stars would gather and play. More affordable than Elvis’ piano it still has a start price of $10,000
