WHITNEY HOUSTON AUCTION DETAILS ON THE SALE

*Whitney Houston’s clear plastic grand piano, purchased new for $121,000, was sold at an auction Tuesday for $20,000, according to reports. It was the top seller of about 406 lots sold from a warehouse in Irvington, N.J., where Houston left behind an array of personal items for months without payment. The company decided to put the stuff up for bid after the singer reportedly stiffed them for $175,000 in storage fees. "I feel so badly that all her beautiful stuff is being sold off like this," Debbie Benge, 56, a school nurse from Bloomfield, N.J., told the New York Daily News as she paid $375 for a red-and-gold pantsuit embroidered with musical notes. Benge says she plans to resell it on eBay. The buyer of Houston’s clear piano, a Mississippi antiques dealer in snakeskin boots who asked to remain anonymous, said he would resell the instrument as well. Also on the auction block were a set of 16 music awards won by Houston's estranged husband, Bobby Brown, including gold records for his song "Humpin' Around." According to the Daily News, they sold for $25 apiece to magician Meir Yedid, 46, of Fair Lawn, N.J. "It's the only item that's personal," Yedid explained. Steve Newmark, co-owner of A.J. Willner Auctions, which handled the sale, said he is unable to announce the overall sale total for legal reasons.
