A pair of pyjamas and a bed once used by Michael Jackson have fetched $12,300 at an auction in Ireland.
The silk night garments were snapped up for $3,700 by an American entertainment company, while the carved mahogany bed was sold to an undisclosed Irish bidder for $8,600 on Monday (07Nov11).
Both items were used by the Thriller icon when he and his young children stayed at Coolatore House in County Westmeath, Ireland in 2006 while he was recording tracks nearby.
According to auctioneer Damien Matthews of Matthews Auction Rooms, the superstar told his hosts he had never slept better in his life than he did at Coolatore House.
Matthews says, "When he was leaving, he left his hat and his pyjamas as a gift. He told the owners of the house that he had had a marvellous time and that Coolatore was the only place where they had ever felt like a real family."
