The auctioning of the Marilyn Monroe dress was truly a momentous occasion.

Additionally, there were several other items that went for $500,000.

There were a total of 587 lots in the auction.

It started shortly after noon and ended shortly after 1 am on Sunday.

ACDC and Motley Crue

These were brought in by someone that won them at auction.
The auction was from "VINCE NEIL's 14th Annual Skylar Neil Memorial Golf Tournament".
Skylar was Vince Neil's daughter who died from cancer in 1995.
Keep that in mind when posting these pictures.
I wouldn't into too much detail about it.
