ORLANDO, Fla. — If you’re in the market for a giant golden camel, a bar made from the front end of a vintage Rolls Royce or a glass table supported by two gilded, nearly-naked cherubs, you’ve got three days to get them.
Those items, and much, much more, are being sold by the Holy Land Experience and its parent company, the Trinity Broadcasting Company, at an estate sale that started Thursday.
The sale is open Thursday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday, according to Stepp Estate Sales.
“It’s an incredible, massive assortment of things you will never see again,” the company said on its website.
The estate sale includes art, studio lighting, nativities, life size figures and mannequins, carpets, mirrors, antiques, custom furniture and much more.
The exact number of items up for sale was not listed, but it took an entire warehouse to hold it all, Stepp said.
The sale comes as the Holy Land Experience grapples with falling revenue and increasing salaries.
According to reports to the IRS, the tax-exempt attraction suffered losses two of the last three years and was barely in the black during the third.
Despite the losses, during the same three years Holy Land Experience salaries and benefits increased by $1 million while the number of employees decreased.
The sale is taking place at 4303 Vineland Road, in Orlando.
Other items of note listed in the sale include:
- A 2007 Harley Fat Boy with only 1,064 miles on it
- Full-size karaoke booth/CD maker
- Painted bust of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom
- Tiffany-style lamps
- A shiny silver chair with leopards for armrests
- Pool table
- Large statue of a man in a breechcloth that doubles as a lamp
