Prince's Purple Rain Edits Hit Auction Block for only $12K

Recently today while on one of my favorite instagram outlets, the latest items to go up for sale are nine pages of Prince's handwritten edits of "Purple Rain," which is expected to go for just $12k. Via the RR Auction, they will also auction off a pair of Prince's yellow boots worn on stage fromm 86-92 expected to sell for $12k. Handwritten lyrics to "The Ladder" is expected to sell for $8k, while a lace crop top, tambourine from the Parade Tour and a "Camille" Advanced Pressing are expected to go between $1.5k to $4k each. As a die hard Prince fan, I'm disappointed that their only auctioning off edits of Purple Rain at $12k. I feel that his items should not be auctioned off, but placed at Paisely Park. I think all of his items should remain in the Muesem. I just know Prince is somewhere in the after life screaming!!!

This is the rrauctions that has been discussed.
The prices shown are ESTIMATES. The items will sell for more...or less. THESE ARE AUCTIONS. Don't people understand what that means?
.
People are already bidding and these auctions do not end
until 27 Sep.
I had an item in mind and had budgeted 1-1/2 times the estimate plus the 22.5% buyer premium. That item has already exceeded my budget and I now predict it will sell for $4-5,000.
People are stupid for bidding this early on an online auction. They should bid on the 27th before the deadline, so they can place birds in the drop-dead zone.

I would trust these items more than sports memorabilia like baseball cards and signatures.
.
Knowing how and when to bid is essential. These work like eBay except for the added 30 minute zones.
