A Southern California charitable auction is offering three toilets and a bidet from the mansion of late Grateful Dead rocker Jerry Garcia. Now, this is one of my heroes. I'm not so sure that I want to buy his commode.
"Henry Koltys of Tiburon bought Garcia's home in 1997, two years after Garcia died. Koltys said it occurred to him he could raise a lot of money for the Sophia Foundation, a charity for children from broken homes.
'The toilets, bidet, a Jacuzzi tub and various household fixtures can be viewed at sophia-foundation.org, and will go up for auction on eBay from Dec. 18-24, the San Francisco Chronicle said.
'Each toilet comes with a certificate of authenticity which states only that the toilet came from Garcia's house.
" 'I can't represent that Jerry Garcia actually used the toilets,' Koltys said. 'But he lived in the house. He was human. I'm not clairvoyant, but you can make reasonable assumptions.' "
Bidding on the toilets starts at $500, the bidet at $350, and the Jacuzzi at $5,000. There are also freezers and other appliances available.
