[QUOTE]LONDON (AFP) – A toilet belonging to Beatles legend John Lennon sold at auction in Liverpool on Saturday for 9,500 pounds -- nearly 10 times its guide price, organisers said.
Lennon used the porcelain lavatory, which is painted with blue flowers and a blue border at the rim and at the base, when he lived at Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire from 1969 to 1972.
The loo was removed when the house was being refurbished, and Lennon suggested the builder, John Hancock, take it home and "put some flowers in it".
Instead, the builder carefully stored it in a garden shed, where it remained for 40 years until he died, and his son-in-law put it up for sale.
At the auction at the 33rd annual Beatles Convention in Liverpool, the toilet was expected to fetch about 1,000 pounds.
"It is unbelievable," said auction organiser Stephen Bailey after it sold for almost 10 times that. "We had bids coming in from all over the place but it went to a private overseas buyer."[/QUOTE]

I would if it was McCartney's :v:
It ALWAYS goes to a "private overseas buyer", doesn't it?
[QUOTE=Barnhouse;24944984]It's not even a nice toilet.[/QUOTE]
it could be the most ugly and disgusting toilet ever but the fact that john lennon once had it makes it much better and more valuable.
I foresee this leading directly to a clone army of John Lennons.
Money literally gone down the shitter
:barf: that thing is ugly! :barf:
It looks very english.

Yes, that was about £8,000, the toilet by itself would be £1,500.

I'd buy it.
[QUOTE=cyanidem;24944766]Is that a pube?[/QUOTE]
If it's Johns then store it for future cloning.
If it's Yokos then blegh
Man, I'd be honored to drop a load in that.

No, keep it. No never know, you may have to put a screeching halt to someone's career.
