Not only did the final sale amount exceed expectations — set between $200,000 and $300,000 — it’s the most expensive sweater ever sold at an auction, according to Julien’s Auctions, which held the event.
The sweater has sentimental value for a lot of fans. The “Unplugged” concert is considered one of the band’s best performances, and it made the thrift-store cardigan iconic.
The cardigan has never been washed since the concert and has all the original stains...
His custom, left-handed Fender Mustang guitar, used during Nirvana’s “In Utero” tour in 1993, sold for $340,000.
Meanwhile, Elvis Presley’s 1976 Harley Davidson XLH Sportster 1000 motorcycle went for $106,250. His 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Gold Coupe sold for $125,000, according to the auction house.

First world problems...with this extra $400,000 from daddy's trust fund that I have lying around, not doing much of anything, should I use it to buy this dirty sweater from some dead rock star or do I try to get Monica Lewinsky's stained dress instead?
Decisions, decisions.
Seven replies and no one has chimed in with a “never heard of him” yet.

Still better than some Boomer paying millions for some piece of crap that the Beatles once touched.
The Beatles suck.

Recording Layne’s vocals was difficult because of the loss of his teeth, which resulted in a lisp that affected his speech and singing ability. Consequently, they tried to stay away from lyrics that accentuated his lisp. “It was kind of hard to do that, because it shows up pretty much everywhere on those tracks. But it was easy for me because Layne and I got along really well. So I didn’t have any problem with him at all. It was just a matter of getting him into the studio, having him sit down and get creative.”
