The Chicago-based firm behind the sale, Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, had planned to sell the morbid items in — wait for it — its Fine Books and Manuscripts auction, among roughly 450 other lots. The pieces, supposedly saved by the Memphis Funeral Home's senior embalmer, had been divided into two groups, one estimated at $6–8,000 and the other at $4–6,000. The most invasive devices like needles and forceps — therefore the ones most imbued with the King's essence, to some people's thinking — were included in the higher-estimated group, while less titillating items, like the hangar for the singer’s funeral suit, were placed in a more modestly estimated bracket.

As Time Out New York helpfully reminds us, this is far from the first grotesque Presley auction. Just last year, a clump of hair cut from his head when he joined the army in 1958 sold for $15,000. (Interestingly enough,Fred perry, Leslie Hindman Auctioneers was the proud seller of that historic item as well.) Any Presley devotees who already booked flights to Chicago for the sale will still find a fine selection of books and manuscripts on offer, including a signed copy of "In Darkest Africa," the 1890 memoir by Henry Stanley of "Doctor Livingstone, I presume" fame,Moncler, estimated at $2–4,000.

CHICAGO – Ghoulish Elvis Presley fans hoping to snap up autopsy equipment used to prepare the singer’s corpse for burial are out of luck: a planned auction featuring the tools has now withdrawn them from the sale. Were the rubber gloves, forceps, lip brushes, needle injectors, and other items too gruesome? Was the August 12 auction date, four days before the anniversary of Presley’s 1977 death, deemed a bit déclassé? Nope. Rather, its seems that the equipment may not be authentic.
