Gee man unknown quantity then and this would have happened so many times with other bands but look where fame takes you, even after you are died a simple smashed guitar on which Kurt scribbled something sells for a hundred thousand bucks.
Cool I really cannot understand the value behind such a purchase and only another maniac would shell out more money when it is 50 years old and the price would be double in the market.
