The Avicii Collection: Get Ready to Bid!
On October 1st, Nybrogatan 32 in Stockholm opened the bidding on a truly thrilling collection of items once owned by Tim Bergling—or as we like to call him, Avicii. The Avicii Collection - A Charity Auction showcased 267 artifacts from the DJ and producer extraordinaire, with all proceeds going to the Tim Bergling Foundation. Among the treasures up for grabs were guitars, CDJs, a Miami Marlins cap, and a pair of headphones that probably heard more bangers than a festival crowd in full swing! With bids rolling in from over 40 countries, the auction was a smash hit. A 2015 Fender Telecaster made headlines by selling for a cool $23,000—talk about strumming the right chord!
“It feels fantastic to convey this significant amount to The Tim Bergling Foundation. We are very pleased to see how The Avicii Collection has also appealed to a younger audience. Many here in the hall have placed their very first auction bids today, and it feels very honorable for us to be a part of that.” - Cecilia Gave, CEO of Stockholms Auktionsverk
