Facing a new life as "empty nesters" Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are having a massive $1,000,0000.00 Garage Sale to clear out their rather upscale clutter. No kidding.
More than 600 lots of memorabilia, jewelry, costumes, paintings, and furniture from their Gothic-style house in Beverly Hills, their Malibu home and their British mansion in Buckinghamshire will be auctioned on November 30 and December 1 here in L.A.
Darren Julien, President and CEO of Julien's Auctions House, says the sale took two years to organize. Sharon says "It’s time to unload. We just have an overabundance of possessions that we do not need."
What is up for auction?
- A gilded Buddha statue
- a walnut parquetry inlaid games table
- The couple's Louis XVI-style master bedroom
- Ozzy's trademark sunglasses
- Ozzy's all-terrain vehicle he was seriously injured while riding in 2003
- Son Jack's black leather bed
- Gowns worn by Sharon and their daughter, Kelly
- Three backstage passes to Ozzy's concerts
- An "experience" ticket to an on-set visit with Sharon Osbourne while she is judging the TV show America's Got Talent
Sharon is no stranger to garage sales. She held one last February at her home in West Hollywood. The sale will raise funds for the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation.

Wow... what a lot! Sadly my last garage sale fetched less than $200. It may be that I didn't have a lot of stuff, but I decided to swear them off. That's a lot of work for so little! Of course I do like actually going to them. ;)

It’s funny how things from some celebrities go for big bucks and then other stuff they can’t give away. I remember at a Butterfields auction a few years ago they were offering a bunch of stuff from Jimmy Stewart’s house – someone I knew bought his sofa for a couple of hundred dollars. Same goes for Perry Como – they were selling his sweaters and no one wanted them. There was also a whole bunch of Elvis stuff and none of it sold… no one wanted it.
