Items belonging to the late frontman of the Grateful Dead are to be sold on eBay to help a support group for separated families.
The auction of Jerry Garcia's possessions on Ebay is expected to raise £57,900, BBC News Online reports.
The chairman of the Sophia Foundation, a non-profit organisation, put the items on sale after having kept them in storage for the past eight years. He said many fans of the Grateful Dead would "want a piece of Jerry."
Garcia died a decade ago. He was in rehab at the time, and suffered a heart attack.
Items on sale include his stereo cabinets, freezer and toilet. The sale is due to commence on December 18.
