Wacko Jacko's Auction Action

He ain't a Pretty Young Thing anymore, but Michael Jackson's stuff is still popular with fans. Hundreds of items were auctioned off by Universal Express, Inc., this past week, netting more than $1.5 million. Think about all the new noses he could buy with that!

Among some of Wacko Jacko's personal belongings that went on the auction block: an MTV music award for "We Are the World" went for $16,000; a be-glittered jacket sold for $19,000, and a letter from Marlon Brando to the King of Pop garnered $1,600. One shocker: a platinum record for his hit song "Billie Jean" went for a measly 100 bucks. Jackson's a thriller no more!

Universal Express, which acquired the items for around $5 million, expects to hold a second auction of King of Pop-related items later this year.

16. It looks like Universal Express could take a loss on this. They are in it for 5 million and only made 1.5? I wonder if the 1.5 included the buyers premium or if they had one. They better hope they have some really good things for the next auction.

18. Why must you people insist on dogging Michael Jackson? He is a human being, and should not be dissed like that. How do we know those little boys may have wanted to set him up to get some money!

19. There is more than one person that still cares about Michael Jackson. I do and my friend does too. I grew up in the Thriller era and if any of you saw those old videos or the hype associated with him back then you could see how people still can have loyalty to him. I ate slept and breather Michael Jackson. He has changed quite a bit and no one really knows what happened. If he did it then he should get the book thrown at him. There was no real evidence in this case except people that tried to extort money out of him before they ever went to the police. I understand all of your opinions, but not all of them may be right.

22. People write about him because he is an oddity. The point is no one cares about him for his musical abilities, only because he is an interesting freak. Duh.

23. To: you pll must care about him: Wow (lol) "ding dong" (lol) I haven't heard that one (lol) in a while. You are quite the (lol) wordsmith. And doesn't it annoy you (lol) when adults can't write a (lol) complete sentence without peppering it with lol's?

24. I read that the auction only made $500,000. There's nothing left to him but the freak value.

He'll never have a come back. Michael jumped the shark years ago.

25. Well Taniqua, I'm afraid that is wishful thinking. Prince is the latest to essentially tell Jackson to f*** off. No one will work with him anymore, his career is beyond redemption, there will be no comeback albums. You are delusional to think otherwise.
And yes, he has more than a passing fondness for little boys.

26. Hey...If Jacko's yard sale stuff has value to someone, good for him!
But SERIOUSLY...WHO REALLY CARES? There are MANY more interesting and important events going on in the world today...

Personally, if I had extra money to burn, I'd give it to a good charitable cause...but that's just me. One man's trash is another man's treasure, and if having that old junk around the house makes someone happy, where's the harm?
