Erotic audio and video tapes sent by Madonna to her old bodyguard went on sale in an online auction on Monday. Two cassette tapes holding 17 minutes of messages that Madonna left in 1992 and 1993 on the answering machine of James Albright, the bodyguard who became her lover, are expected to fetch between $30,000 and $40,000.

An intimate home video sent to Albright featuring Madonna in a hotel room with castmates shot during the making of the 1993 film "Dangerous Game" has an estimate draw of $12,000 to $14,000.

The auction house, Gotta Have It!, described the video as "very personal and intimate" but its representatives said they were not allowed to say exactly what was on it. Neither the audio tapes nor the home video are being sold with copyright so the owner will not be able to sell the tapes to a public forum.

Also up for sale are copies of love letters faxed to Albright by Madonna between 1992 and 1994 using the code name "Lola Montez."

Besides Madonna's intimate correpondance, other items up for sale include Jimi Hendrix's $1 performance contract and Muhammad Ali's training robe.

Some of the items can be viewed in person at the Gotta Have It store in New York. The bidding will be open until August 5.
