Scroll down some and you'll see a gallery with 33 pictures, view it, it's crazy.

Note: It's an AOL link but it was huge and messy, so I shortened it.

Some auctions include:
Rare blue diamond sold for $9.49 million
WWII Spitfire plane sold for $2.53 million
Monet paintings for $80 million
Abe Lincoln stamp (and letter) for $431,250
+ more.

I worked with Michael D. Barnes on a production auction commissioned by eBay to help launch the now defunct ebayaircraft.com site back in 2001.

Mr. Barnes
-Agent for Football Player Emmitt Smith
-Represented catchers of famous Mark Mcgwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds home run balls (sold one for $3.1 million to guy below)
-Agent for Todd McFarland (spawn)

We sold quite a few planes, including one owned by John Travolta, the 2nd uncrashed Cessna that JFK Jr. owned, and quite a few others. One of the planes, a jumbo jet, sold for over $4million and up until last year was the largest closing auction in eBay's history. While the auction was Mike Barnes' project, I did a large amount of the work. (I was trying to launch my own auction company, and he wanted to help, so he gave me the opportunity to play a role in this auction and let me do as much of the work as possible, and I did so for free for the experience).
