OAK BROOK, Illinois (AP) -- Somebody this morning is the new owner of a hunka-hunka hair from "The King."
A chunk of Elvis Presley's jet black locks sold early this morning for $115,120 to an anonymous bidder at auction. The Internet auction house MastroNet Incorporated in Oak Brook listed the hair in a sale that began last month.
Bidding on the hair started at $10,000.
Brian Marren from the auction house says the locks were collected by the king of rock 'n' roll's former hairstylist, Homer "Mr. Gill" Gilleland. He says Gilleland gave the hair to friend Tom Morgan, who sold it for auction.
The clippings are vacuum packed.
