Title: Want to own a celebrity's Batsuit?
Post by: Batman on Sun, 15 Mar 2009, 20:48
Parts of Michael Jackson's personal property is being auctioned off between April 22th-25th by Julien's Auctions at the Beverly Hilton, including a lifesize Batsuit based on the BATMAN design. The interesting thing about it though, is that the sculpted face underneath the mask is that of Michael Jackson.

Is that price of $200-$300 the estimated price the auctioneers expect it would bring in or is it the starting price? In any case, it seems pretty low to me.

Have a look-see flip-through the virtual catalogue.There are some really cool items in there.

There's a Atari Batman arcade on page 48 (757), the other Batman related items are on page 70-71.

How weird, after checking the catalog ( which had some cool stuff in it ) I was wondering, "Hey, is this auction over?"...and when I looked it ended today, ha ha.

I wonder what prices some of the Batman stuff went for...anybody know how to check?

I heard on the radio it's because he's made enough money now to pay off his debts, so know he doesn't have to auction his wonderful toys.  :D
