An auction of Elvis Presley memorabilia got bidders all shook up Sunday, with a clump of the late King of Rock and Roll's hair selling for $18,300 and one of his shirts for $62,000 dollars.

More than 150 items that had belonged to the former president of the Elvis Presley fan club went on the block at Chicago's Leslie Hindman auctioneers.

The priciest items included a red ultrasuede shirt worn by Elvis, which was sold for $34,000, and a monogrammed cream-colored shirt that sold for $62,000, according to the auction house's listing of post-auction sale prices.

Two concert-worn scarves sold for a combined $2,318 dollars. A set of concert- used handkerchiefs went for $732.

Presley's personal collection of single song mini-records, known as 45 rpms, sold for $3,904.

Wedding and bridal shower photos of Elvis and wife Priscilla sold for nearly $6,000

Personal letters from Elvis's relatives were also among the items auctioned, including a collection of letters from his estranged grandfather J.D. Presley ($1,159) and from his aunt ($458).

The auction house did not provide details about the buyers, including the purchaser of a "large quantity of Elvis's hair," which went for $18,300.
