Zoom The Melvins’ onetime touring van, a.k.a. the Melvan, has been relisted on eBay, this time with no reserve (minimum starting bid is $50,000; the auction ends Sunday). That’s Leland Cobain posing alongside his grandson Kurt’s handiwork (the Kiss portraits). The previous auction failed to find a buyer.

Top 3 member questions on the Melvan eBay listing

  • Q: Hmm, I see you didn’t include a pic of the passenger side. Is it dented? That was a joke. Good luck in the auction, this rules.
  • Q: Do you think any of Kurt Cobains hair remains in the carpet? Im an avid collector, thanks!
  • Q: Do not sell it to Courtney . Do Not!
