Highlights include a custom-made yellow "Cloud" guitar, so named for its unique twisting body, which also has Prince's signature love symbols engraved between the frets. Last year, it sold another Cloud guitar for a surprisingly hefty $700,000. Many of the items including stereo equipment came out of Paisley Park, the reclusive star's studio and headquarters that has since been opened for paid tours. Prince died in April 2016 at Paisley Park from an accidental overdose of powerful painkillers. Prosecutors are expected to announce Thursday whether they will press any charges over the death of Prince, who had been treating pain from hip surgery.
