Warren Moon sold for $4,000.
Tom Wilkinson went for $2,900.
Ricky Ray hit $2,000.
Dan Kepley drew $1,450.
In all, the sale of Edmonton Eskimos lockers at yesterday's annual Christmas blowout of game-worn equipment, uniforms and helmets brought in $59,725 dollars.
None of the dressing room stalls, some of them autographed by players, such as Wilkinson, who had sat there during their career, sold for less than $500.
The Moon locker, which was most recently occupied by Jason Maas, was purchased by realtor Terry Paranych.
The "locker of death", featuring drawings of 20 little stickmen, dedicated to previous occupants Larry Washington, Cliff Olander, Stephan Jones, Rick Worman, Steve Taylor, Tom Muecke, Tony Burke, Shawn Daniels, Bart Hendricks, Jason Johnson and Stephan LeFors and Jared Zabransk,y to name a few, sold for $850.
"It went very well," said Eskimos CEO Rick LeLacheur.
"The most interesting point to me was the number of bidders via the Internet. We had bidders from just about every province. A lot of people bought off the Internet.
"We had no idea how this would go," he said of the locker sale, with proceeds going to the Eskimos' Champions in the Community program.
The Eskimos will be moving in to a new under-construction dressing room next season that is part of a $112-million renovation of Commowealth Stadium that inlcudes a new field-house and new offices on both the second and third floor.
