Mardas put 15 items from his collection of Lennon memorabilia up for sale on 5 May 2004, at Christie's in South Kensington, London. Among the sale was Lennon’s leather collar, worn during 1967 and 1968 (at the launch party for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP, and on the cover of Lennon and Ono’s Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins) as well as a custom Vox Kensington guitar, a coloured felt pen drawing, called "Strong", and a pen and ink drawing by Lennon, entitled “Happy Fish”. Mardas said he planned to donate the money to a charity in Greece.
