Too much money for hair from a dead guy.

Hi,

Yea but the new owner will take each strand. Cut it in quarters mount with a picture and make 10 time the money. The perfect Christmas gift for the Elvis fan.

How did they authenticate the hair?

They sent a picture of it to a guy who had seen the hair cut off his head when he entered the services some fifty years ago. This guy apparently said it had the same consistency as Elvis' hair.

Forgive me for sounding sceptical but, this is a load of bollocks!

Yes... it took some years to "validate" a lock of Beethoven's hair... and doubts still persist... could I cut off some of my hair, label it "Elvis" and make a fortune?

Why am I sitting around posting here!?!? E-bay here I come!!!!
