Michael Jackson was known to be very generous with his fans -- but now some of the people who received gifts from the King of Pop want to turn a profit off his generosity.
A scarf worn by Jackson, a Mercedes he gave to his aunt, and the white glove he wore when he unveiled the Moonwalk in 1983 will all go up for bidding at a NY-based Julien's Auctions event on November 21.
Roughly 80 items on the block are related to Michael, but only 34 of them were originally gifts from Michael to friends and fans.
Other items up for bidding include original handwritten lyrics to "Beat It," and the mold for Michael's "Thriller" fangs.

Team Britney Spears has reached a financial settlement with the paparazzo who accused the pop star of intentionally driving over his foot with her Mercedes back in 2007.
Rick Mendoza, who was working for TMZ at the time, had argued that Brit's people "should have known ... Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."
The terms of the settlement were not released -- but Mendoza had originally demanded more than $200,000 in damages.

Buena Park police are holding a press conference right now about Jasmine Fiore's murder and said there were blood splatters inside her Mercedes -- the car they found yesterday abandoned in a parking lot in West Hollywood.
Cops say there was definitely a "struggle between two people in the car." Cops say there was more significant blood loss in the back seat of the car. The inside of the car had been wiped down and the outside was recently washed.
It appears a lot of hair pulling occurred. There was blood splatter on the back windshield. Cops say the only trauma on Jasmine was to her face and she had a broken nose.
Cops say the car had definitely gone off-road at some point -- there were mud stains on the tires and there were twigs caught in the undercarriage.
There's no reason to believe her teeth were removed while she was inside the vehicle -- but there were fragments of her teeth in the suitcase she was found inside, so they can assume her teeth were removed with her in or around the suitcase.
Cops say she could have "easily fit in the suitcase."
Cops say her fingers were cut off at the tips postmortem. A few pieces of her bloody clothing were found in the trunk. Cops say they are still looking for certain articles of her clothing.
TIMELINE HERE:
Both suspect and victim were seen entering her Mercedes at the San Diego Hilton at 2:30 AM on the morning of August 14 -- it's believed they were at a poker party at the Hilton. Jasmine was never seen again. Later that morning, Jenkins was seen leaving the L'Auberge Del Mar -- the hotel where they were staying at in San Diego -- at 9:20 AM. The next time he was seen on video was at 5 PM at his residence in Los Angeles.
This is the big mystery ... where was Jasmine when Ryan was seen checking out of the L'Auberge?

Check out this video of Don Randall -- who first saw Jasmine Fiore's missing Mercedes in a West Hollywood parking lot on August 15 -- talking with cops.
Don says at around 9 AM on the 15th, he noticed the Mercedes and then saw a silver, 4-door sedan parked next to it. Randall says he walked inside the building and returned to the lot somewhere between 30 - 60 minutes later and the silver car was gone.

UDPATE 3:13 PM PT: The car has been towed away. We spoke to someone who lives next door to the parking lot, who said they saw the car there on August 15. Ryan Jenkins was seen leaving a hotel near San Diego on August 14 in the white Mercedes. Jenkins was seen carrying a suitcase -- we're told it was the same suitcase that contained Fiore's mutilated body.
The car is expected to be towed to the Orange County Crime Lab in Santa Ana.
UPDATE: An official from the Buena Park PD tells us it is definitely Jasmine's car.
Cops say they have located Jasmine Fiore's Mercedes, which has been missing since her death. We just shot this video of the car -- which is in a West Hollywood parking lot where cops have just arrived on scene.
There was a note on the windshield it read, "This is a private lot. Unattended vehicles will be towed at owner's expense."

Seems Paris Hilton is having trouble keeping track of her fleet of high-end cars these days. In fact, there are so many ultra-expensive rides in her collection that even Paris herself admits it's a tad bit much.
This past weekend Paris was leaving her home with her usual entourage, including publicist Elliot Mintz, when she noticed the dome light on her Mercedes SLR was on. Being the concerned car owner that she is, Paris screamed for someone to bring out her the key to her SLR. After losing her patience, and realizing that if you want the job done right you have to do it yourself, Ms. Hilton went to grab the keys herself. Unfortunately the keys she returned with were for her Bentley. Darn European car makers and their similarly designed keys. Lucky for Paris and the SLR, the dome light goes out on its own and the group piles into designated driver Elliott Mintz's car.
Another crisis averted for the Hilton heiress.
