Fans Cashing In On Their Michael Jackson Posters

By Jenna Landers

Visitors to eBay looking at Michael Jackson memorabilia in the weeks leading up to his death, would have been able to by Michael Jackson posters from as little as just one cent. If you were to complete a similar search today, just three weeks later, the story would be somewhat different.

Since the tragic death of the man that gave the world the Moonwalk, it is unsurprising that any and all memorabilia connected to Michael Jackson has jumped in value. Fans the world over clamor to have one final memento of the man and his music, whilst others hope their early purchases will increase further in value, as the outpouring continues.

It is not just auction sites and their members where people are profiting however. Many poster distributors and retailers are welcoming the extra business, despite the tragic circumstances that have triggered it. A small company, Pyramid International in the UK, have had to take on extra staff to cope with demand.

Despite this additional personnel coming in, with the order book still full and added to daily, working around the clock is very much to be expected through the course of the working week.

Despite Pyramid only holding exclusivity across the United Kingdom; their order book is bursting with sales from the United States and Australia, as well as closer to home European sales, due to their readiness with supply.

Originally intended for sale throughout the, "This Is It" tour, in London, these rapidly modified Michael Jackson posters have proved the most popular.

The story is the same whichever country is studied.

It is not just the private companies that are making a profit from the untimely death of the King of Pop however. Whilst a high number of fans frantically try to get one final memento; one final celebration of the man, there are an equally significant number seeing the possibility of cashing in on their collections. Indicative not only of his appeal, but also how years of rumor and scandal have tarnished the man once cast in gold.

If you are willing to sell some of your old Michael Jackson posters, or some other memorabilia, it could be a welcome boost to help buy his unreleased music that is set to hit stores in the lead up the Christmas Holiday period this year. - 18758
