He probably had multiples (at least two) made of each outfit for washing and wearing ease on tours and such. But this is amazing to see on ebay! I wonder if they will sell for big cash, or go unclaimed?

How much did Mayte sell them for?

Cool, but what's up with the condition of all the shoes in the collection? They're all beat to shit. What'd he do...go hiking with them? I know she says "wear and tear" from being used "on stage". But c'mon. Where was the stage located...in a rock quarry?

The satin ones look like Mayte dropped 'em under her bike and rolled over 'em.

Mayte also sold several more outfits and his belongings in Dec. 2013 at Julien's Auctions. They went for a lot less than they are being offered for on Ebay. I got a stage worn costume for under $5k. the prices were amazing!!

Previously I bought costumes he wore in Under the Cherry Moon which I think are as special as his purple trench (plus there are so many of them.)

That's reasonable, but the prices for these items not so much.

Do you have money to burn???

Even if Prince DID wear it I can't imagine spending so much money on a single piece of clothing.

What have you done with it? Displayed it or something? Just wondering.

What era is the one you bought from Julien's Auctions?

That's unrealistic pricing.

If you have money you would have more sense than to but these outfits and if you didn't have money you'd have better things to spend it on.

If you are a music collector looking for an investment this type of money is Lennon, Elvis or Hendrix type prices. Not Prince (at least not yet) prices.

cherrymoon26- Can you post pics of the pieces you have?

I have several of his outfits from Under the Cherry Moon, Mayte era concert outfits, A couple of pairs of boots, his gold necklace, a signed contract from Purple Rain (with his personal info on it), I try to only collect really iconic pieces or items. I feel there are only a handful of people of his state in the music business and he is my all time favorite. Of course, I meet MANY people who say the following when they see my amazing collection...."Why do you like Prince?" "Why would you spend a $1 on his items?" "Is he a midget?" "He must be the size of a 12 year old boy!" "Did he make any music after Purple Rain?" I realize all of you in this forum will understand my shock and despair (and laughter) when I get these responses.

It seems kind of cold on Mayte's end to sell Prince's cloths. Why not just give them back to Prince?

I wonder how she wound up with these clothes,anyway when they split up,did Prince move out and leave these clothes behind? He should have packed this stuff up.

Is that pawn-shop being used out of necessity?

.

Think of it this way: do you buy milk in the supermarket, or do you milk a cow?

My friends went to that Beverly Hills pawn shop and the things they showed them buying on Hollywood Exes actually didn't get sold... only the three outfits on Ebay... maybe they realized there is not a big market for Mayte's personal clothing?

That just shows how much they (don't) know!

So what outfits from UTCM do you have in your collection?

Would you mind posting some photos?

I love his clothing in that movie

the whole black and white thing

I'm a 19 year old guy and the same height and build as Prince so the fact that these would fit me makes them even more desirable!

Ummm...but where in the hell would you GO in it? All of that shit looks silly.

I'd wear them in the house and pretend I was Prince, obviously. What else would I do with them? Go shopping?

I totally would. Fuck what anyone else thinks, lol.

I wonder what Mayte did with all her clothes from the '90s? I love some of the stuff she wore.

I would! And I'm pretty sure behind closed doors everyone else here would too.

So Prince gave Mayte this stuff and she's trying to cash in on her ex-husband's fame? thats kinda low

SanDiegoFunkDaddy said:

Hm, I wouldn't really call it low. If she has no use for them then I don't get why she can't sell them. If Prince gave them to her, that would mean it's her property to sell.

Also, its probably a good thing she's moving on. I know she held on to their wedding china for a hell of a long time. Heck, she still had it on display in a cupboard up until as recent as the first season of Hollywood exes (which I believe was 2012).

I also believe she is using the money she makes off the garage sale to fund her animal shelter, which is a good thing.

waering these clothes behind closed doors is one thing,but would you really go shopping with those clothes on?

I would love to try them on to see if they fit! Even more, I'd love to see if my clothes fits him! To be a prince fan you need to be a little sick I guess.

So, when's she gonna auction off P's tidy whities?
