The IRS auctioned off Young Buck’s personal items from his Tennessee home, while the rapper watched from prison.  He is currently serving an 18-month sentence for gun possession.  The auction brought in $53,000 and will be put towards the reported $200,000 he owes in back taxes.

Along with awards, jewelery, and studio equipment, Hip Hop DX also reports that the rapper’s trademarked name is for sale as well.

Young Buck is said to have purchased several items back, including his 615 Cashville chain, which sold at auction for $12,600, but is actually worth $20,000.
