Michael Jackson is auctioning off his random memorabilia that he has accumulated over the years. Most of which hasn’t been touched since 2005 when he was last in court; and abandoned Neverland; his ranch. The man has a ranch he calls Neverland. If you’ve put the “Peter Pan” references behind you: admit that the “Neverland” moniker is still creepy as hell.
The things range from tube socks to sparkly gloves. A few choice picks:
1. Item No. 7576, a pair of tube socks from The Jackson 5’s’ 1981 Triumph Tour. (Bidding starts at: $600 to $800)
2. The gates to Neverland Ranch – the actual gates – start at $25,000. You can own the gates to the place where innocence died. Think about that when you blow that hedge fund.
3. The entire catalog of items itself is available in a glossy five volume set of catalogs priced at a fair amount of $100.
4. Item 5329 is Michael Jackson’s shadow wrestling with a fiberglass Peter Pan. Valued at “a mere” $200 to $300, this item says more about the singer than his last three albums. And will probably make more than the album sales.
5. A life size Darth Vader – valued at around $600 to $800 – is available. Why Mr Jackson has this is beyond me. Maybe he likes to visit “the dark side”. Maybe he likes scaring little children. Maybe he has a power of not touching people but harming them. All of these things may or may not hold up in court.
6. An autographed picture of Roddy McDowall for $150. Yup.
7. An autographed Rose Bowl Parade program from Walt Disney. Now that’s irony.
8. Item 7781 is a ceremonial scepter used by Queen Elizabeth II. And you thought YOU had things laying around in your garage you could sell on eBay… this guy has a scepter used by The Fucking Queen. Your garage sale sucks in comparison.
9. Eight crystal right handed gloves of the sparkly variety. Pretty much one for every day of the week. Because why have one when you could have two, to wear when you’re laundering the other one? There is no set price available on these probably pretty collectible gloves, but why value such a thing? Why put a value on sparkly gloves? You know you want and need all eight of them.
10. Many, many life size mannequins. Including: a life size Spiderman, a life size Boba Fett, a life size Darth Vader (again) made entirely of Legos, and a life size Michael Jackson in a Batman costume. Yes. A life size Batman with Michael Jackson inside of him. Sleep well after reading that sentence.
And you thought you’re garage sale was weird.

Michael Jackson is one weird dude. No doubt about it.
