Elvis Presley’s unwashed, soiled, and slightly stained light blue briefs failed to sell at an auction in Stockport, England.

The briefs were expected to sell for 10,000 but failed to meet the 7,000 reserve price.

The notorious briefs were worn by Presley underneath one of his famous white jumpsuits during a concert in 1977.

The lack of interest in the underpants is surprising considering Presley’s enduring popularity.

Presley is known as the King of Rock and Roll, and his fans have been known to throw their undergarments at him during performances.

The soiled briefs were among 100 other items of Presley’s memorabilia auctioned to mark 35 years since his death.

The underpants were expected to attract considerable interest due to the fact that they were worn by Presley during one of his live performances.

The staining on the briefs suggests that the King’s trademark hip swivelling was the cause of the marks.

Despite the item’s potential significance, no buyer was prepared to meet the reserve price, and the briefs were left unsold.

One of the most significant items sold at the auction was a Bible belonging to Presley.

The Bible was bought for 59,000 by an unnamed British-based American telephone bidder after a bidding war broke out between three buyers.

The gold-embossed book was a Christmas gift from Presley’s Uncle Vester and Aunt Clettes during his first year in Gracelands in 1957.

The 1,600-page Bible contains the King’s handwritten notes, including the quote, “To judge a man by his weakest link or deed is like judging the power of the ocean by one wave.” The Bible’s importance was reflected in the fierce bidding that occurred, with three buyers vying for the lot.

Another item of interest was a pair of shoes worn by Presley, which sold for 6,500.

A movie contract for the 1962 film “Follow That Dream,” bearing Presley’s signature, fetched 6,000.

Despite the underpants’ failure to sell, the auction was considered a success.

The auctioneer, Paul Fairweather, said that the sale “exceeded our expectations,” with the total selling price of the items reaching 500,000.

The auction also highlighted the continued interest in Presley’s life, with fans still eager to own a piece of the King’s history.

Fairweather acknowledged that there were some items that were not sold, including Presley’s prescription sunglasses and a gold record for the album “50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong.” However, he noted that these items would likely be sold in future auctions.

The auction was a reminder of Presley’s continued popularity and the enduring fascination with his life and career.

Despite his death in 1977, Presley remains a cultural icon, and his music and memorabilia continue to be sought after by fans around the world.
