THEY SHOULD HAVE TRIED EBAY: A load of old music-related stuff got left unsold at the Cooper Own Auction House Rock Legends special have been left unsold after the owners failed to ask the opinion of the Cash in the Attic team before setting their reserves.

Unsurprisingly, nobdy was much interested in paying the GBP347,000 for an early Prince mastertape, while nobody was sniffing for Lennon's final autograph [reserve GBP82,000]. Apparently, every time someone was about to bid, they imagined no possessions and decided not to. They did manage to get rid of a Hendrix out-take (GBP20,000) and the copyright for 18 of Hendrix's artworks - which went for GBP41,200, although the artwork themselves weren't included.
