“A man bought this signed Taylor Swift Guitar at a charity auction for $4000, then proceeded to smash it with a hammer”: This Taylor Swift-signed guitar was smashed at auction and went viral – now it has been sold at an even higher price

A few weeks ago, a video of Texas man Gary Estes buying and immediately smashing what was reportedly a Taylor Swift-signed guitar at an auction quickly went viral.

At the time, Estes paid $4,000 to win the auction. Now, it turns out that the guitar – broken pieces and all – has since gone under the hammer again – this time selling for $6,500 on eBay – with the noble aim of supporting agricultural education for local youth.
