Harry Styles’s Water Bottle
Fresh from the lips of One Direction’s Harry Styles, this is a “used authentic water bottle he drank from” and could be yours for the low, low price of $3,000. The eBay seller attests that Harry handed her the bottle while she was at a 1D concert with her niece last year and explains that the item is now up for sale because her niece “grew out of them and is now in love with Justin Bieber.”

Britney Spears's Chewing Gum
Spears has often been criticized for her gum-chewing but, in 2004, her bad habit became an industry on eBay, as multiple entrepreneurs attempted to profit from wads of her discarded gum. One listing reached $14,000 but the seller was later called out for bidding against himself to raise the price. Another fan scooped up a piece of Brit’s gum at her 2000 Wembley Arena show and offered it for a meager $53, stating "I have had this item for over three years and am only listing it because of the current interest in Ms. Spears's habit for discarding gum!”

Justin Timberlake’s French Toast
At the height of NSync’s world domination in 2000, one dedicated JT fan paid $1,025 for his leftover French toast. After a breakfast interview, New York-area radio station Z-100 bagged the singer’s leftovers and put them up on eBay. The winner later explained what she planned to do with the sticky keepsake: “I’ll probably freeze-dry it, then seal it … then put it on my dresser.”

Lady Gaga’s Fake Fingernail
One crew member of Lady Gaga’s 2012 “Born This Way Ball” tour hit the jackpot when he picked up one of her acrylic nails from the floor of the stage and it was auctioned off for $13,000. The black and gold nail set had been specially
designed for Gaga to wear at the launch of her Fame fragrance, and she lost the nail one day later at her show in Dublin, Ireland.

Elvis Presley’s Underwear and Bible
A wealth of collectible Elvis memorabilia is on the market, but two auctioned items jumped out at us. Presley’s old Bible, reportedly gifted to the singer in 1957, was sold for a staggering $94,600 in September 2012. Slightly less valuable were a pair of the King’s dirty underpants, worn during a 1977 concert, which failed to reach the reserve price of $11,000 and therefore did not sell.

Justin Bieber's Hair
After trimming his beloved hair in February 2011, the Biebs handed over his freshly cut locks to Ellen DeGeneres, who sold them on eBay for a jaw-dropping $40,668 and donated the proceeds to her animal rescue organization, the Gentle Barn Foundation.

John Lennon's Tooth
You would have to be a pretty serious Beatles fan to want this sitting on your mantel. In November 2011, a Canadian dentist paid $30,000 for one of John Lennon’s slightly rotted teeth. Apparently, Lennon had given it to his housekeeper in the mid-60s and told her to dispose of it or give it to her daughter “as a souvenir.” Despite paying more than twice the expected price, buyer Michael Zuk proudly stated, “Some people will think it’s gross, others will be fascinated by it.”

Kurt Cobain’s Letter to MTV
In 2010, a handwritten letter that Kurt Cobain penned but never sent to MTV, was auctioned off for $12,800. Music site NME suggests that the letter was written in 1993, around the time that Cobain gave an interview expressing his discontent with the network he dubbed “Empty TV.”

Michael Jackson’s Used Towels
Auction prices for one of Michael Jackson’s famous jackets or gloves can easily reach thousands, but not many people were eager to get their hands on used towels from his Neverland ranch. This set of towels and their certificate of authenticity sold for $330 earlier this year.
