I think this is sad.


I don't think a girl is worth it. If she can't respect his hobby, then she's not the girl for him. But that's just my opinion.

Man Chooses Girlfriend Over Elvis

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Hundreds of pieces of Elvis Presley memorabilia were auctioned off over the weekend by a longtime collector trying to win back his girlfriend after she warned: "You leave the Elvis clothes or I'll leave you."

The items auctioned included three Elvis concert suits, two of which sold for $125,000 and $50,000, said Alan Lipkin, senior vice president of Regency-Superior, which organized the online auction. The third was still on the auction block.

Also sold were necklaces Elvis gave to girlfriends and friends, cufflinks he received from President Nixon and belt buckles he wore, Lipkin said.

The seller, Jim Curtin, collected 600 cartons of Elvis memorabilia for more than 30 years and met the star several times.

His unrelenting adoration eventually got the attention of Elvis, who personally presented Curtin with a white jumpsuit he wore in a Houston concert in 1974, according to the Regency Web site.

So why give up the lifetime collection?

"He's doing this to try to win back his girlfriend," said Lipkin.

Attempts to reach Curtin, who lives in Philadelphia and has an unlisted number, were unsuccessful.

Total auction sales wouldn't be tabulated until Tuesday, but organizers estimate the take could reach $2 million.

I agree, she is not worth it. There are a lot of fish in the sea. She probably will not even want him back! Hope that she realizes that he is soo sweet for doing this and take him back.

I don't know... I'm thinking if she doesn't care about something that important to him then she really doesn't care that much about him.  Suppose he sells all this stuff and she still tells him to get bent?  It's not like he could just get it all back!!

If I were him, I would not be selling all my elvis stuff, if she loved him she would put up with his elvis stuff. She probably just want to get her hands on the cash he will get for all the elvis goodies.

Right!

Expecially if the collection was valuable enough to raise $2 million!

That's not just some goofy collector, that guy had a seriously historic collection and it's a shame he had to give it up.

It was quite the grand gesture though.

Now what happens if they get back together and she realizes "oh, I guess the problem wasn't the Elvis stuff afterall".

He's out the girl AND the collection.

Course, he'll have several million bucks to ease his pain.

I'd place bets that a good portion of that 2 mil will go to the girlfriend, she'll spend it and run.

Hate to say it, but if he's that big of a sucker, he deserves to get taken.

That's because he's just a guy!!! and we are all stupid.  We don't have that special filter in our brains like women that put a stop to things before we do it.
