The auction, put on by Julien's auctions, included furniture from their Beverly Hills home where they filmed the television show the Osbournes. The couple sold their house and moved on to Hidden Hills.

Some of the scores include Ozzy's coat which went for $3,300, his skull-adorned sneakers for $2,625 and a pair of his wire-rimmed sunglasses for $5,250.The family's custom pool table went for $11,250. AOL Music has a photo gallery of some of the Osbourne offerings.

Luther Vandross passed away back in 2005, and what remains of his estate will be going up for auction next month. He was well known for his individual taste and among the many many items up for sale there's no shortage of things for the kitchen. Place settings, serving dishes, wine goblets, and champagne flutes name a few -- all with brand names like Tiffany, Baccarat, and Lalique. He also had a lot of art deco items, Gianni Versace coats, and art geodes. Quite the interesting collection!

Of course there's much more going up on the block including his jewelry, books, rugs, a even an old massage chair. The auction will take place on December 5th and 6th in Morris Plains, NJ by Dawson and Nye.

John from the OrganizingLA blog clued us in to a pair of celebrity estate sales that are coming up. As we saw in the case of Tori Spelling's sale these types of events can draw a lot of attention.

First up, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and his wife Janet Jones Gretzky, who recently sold their Lake Sherwood home, are selling off autographed jerseys, home furnishings, off-road vehicles, signed bottles of the new Wayne Gretzky Estate Wines and other personal items and donating some of the proceeds to the new baseball stadium at Westlake Village Oaks Christian School. The sale takes place on October 27.

A far more lavish affair is the "$1,000,0000.00 Garage Sale" of Sharon and Ozzy Osborne being held at Julien's Auction House on November 30 and December 1. This sale includes more than 600 lots of memorabilia, jewelry, paintings, and furniture from their recently sold home in Beverly Hills, their Malibu home and their British mansion in Buckinghamshire. The lot includes the couple's Louis XVI-style master bedroom set, Ozzy's sunglasses, the ATV Ozzy was riding when he had a serious accident in 2003, costumes and "experience" lots that including being backstage at an Ozzy concert or an on-set visit with Sharon Osbourne while she is judging the TV show America's Got Talent. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
