Elvis Presley’s pre-worn, rhinestone-studded jockstrap is up for sale.

The famously sweaty performer apparently wore this thing — made by a fan — “several times in the 1970s”.

“It is extravagant. It is absurd. It is absolutely Elvis,” said Daniel Wade, manager of Paul Fraser Collectibles in Bristol, which is selling this timeless item for about £30,000 ($74,340).

European share markets were up Thursday with the pan European STOXX 600 index closing at 11-week highs.

The ASX200 Index bought into the drama, falling about 1.18 per cent in morning trade.
