Rockers are helping auctioneers rake in big money.
An electric guitar used by the late Jimi Hendrix at the 1969 Woodstock festival fetched $324,000 at a memorabilia auction in London, while a gold record given to the Beatles in 1964 for "A Hard Day's Night" brought $13,530 in the same sale.Meanwhile, Graham Nash, a member of Crosby, Stills and Nash, netted $2.39 million from the New York auction of his photography collection. One Diane Arbus photo Nash bought in 1971 for $1,600 brought $46,750.
"It's just crazy," said one experienced collector at the Nash auction. The prices "are definitely because it's Graham Nash's collection. Yesterday at Christie's they had a sale with a lot of the same photographs, but half of them didn't sell."
