I little while back we told you about an upcoming rock memorabilia auction going down in London town. So the results are in. The big ticket items all brought in less than expected.

A guitar set alight onstage by Jimi Hendrix during a concert in London was sold at auction on Thursday for $497,557 to a collector from the United States.

A copy of The Beatles' first contract with manager Brian Epstein sold for $426,478, the auctioneers said.

An application to the State of California for a concealed-gun permit by Elvis Presley, and a set of his fingerprints, fetched $81,740.
