That's if your garage is the world's great auction houses...
Cher is putting the contents of her Malibu home up for sale in an auction expected to raise over $1m.
Over 800 items are included in the sale, which is being handed by Julien's of Los Angeles and Sotheby's in New York, with rare artworks, jewellery, stage costumes and even a Hummer car.
"This is a lot more than a garage sale. Apart from the dresses and jewels there are Old Masters and architectural drawings," Darren Julien of Julien's auctions told Reuters. "She has a huge following. She is an icon. Her career in song, stage and screen has spanned nearly four decades."
The sale, which takes place in Los Angeles from October 3-4, was initiated by the singer and actress to allow he to 'remodel' her life, shifting much of her Gothic revival furniture and outrageous stage outfits to make space for new clothes and furniture.
"She decided a while ago that she wanted to sell off a few things and change her style, and it grew from that to this collection of some 200 gowns and costumes and nearly 800 items in total," Julien adds. "She is redecorating her home, going for a Moroccan-Tibetan look and selling the Gothic revival items."
I'm beginning a new chapter in my career and have decided to rewrite my personal environment - my home," adds Cher.
