First TMZ Auction - The Bishop Don Magic Juan Emerica's Signed By The Game


It looks like the popular paparazzi inspired website and now television show TMZ has signed-up on eBay. The good news is they are auctioning for charity and not for profit. For their first auction they are auctioning off a pair of shoes worn by Don Magic Juan. If you don't know who the Magic Juan is let me tell you. The guy is a famous PIMP who first hit it off with Snoop Dog back stage. From there Juan has had several supporting roles in music, videos, and live stage shows of established rap artists, including a remix of 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P.". These shoes are in true Don Magic Juan style made with alligator skin and gold details. Besides being Don Magic Juan's shoes they are also signed by the famous West Coast rapper, The Game. If you're feeling like a pimp and want to donate to charity here is your chance. Have fun! It will be interesting to see what other auctions TMZ puts up in the future, stay tuned.

The Osbourne's Are Auctioning Off Everything!


Who could argue that the modern day reality family began with the lovable Osbourne's. This foul mouth family from the UK made a big splash on MTV's "The Osbournes". Of course the most famous of the Osbournes, Ozzy, was know well before the show aired. Ozzy rocked out since the 70's with his band Black Sabbath and later on with his sensational solo career.

If you remember anything from the show you remember the luxurious house they lived in with all its Victorian Era/Gothic furnishings. There wasn't one inch of that house that wasn't covered. Now I don't think the Osburnes's are calling it quits like the Hogan's are, but they sure are auctioning off a lot of items from their home. You can pick up anything from a small white coffee table to an award Ozzy won for his album "Wisconsin Death Trip". There are currently over 500 hundred items up for auction. If you want to own a little bit of Ozzy memorabilia then click on the image below.

Gold Edition Mickey Mouse PEZ Dispenser - 80 Year Anniversary

Believe it or not it's PEZ's 80 Year Anniversary. Can you believe it? I sure can't. I haven't been around that long, but it's amazing how anything could still be iconic 80 years later. You won't find too many people thought the United States and probably the World that is not familiar with PEZ.

I can remember when I was just a little kid and my mom bought me my first PEZ dispenser. I think it was a G.I. Joe dispenser. I can't say I was a huge fan of the candy, but I sure did like the dispenser. I was fascinated how the top of the dispenser popped up to reveal the hidden candy. It was truly modern candy engineering at its finest, hahaha. I'm sure each and every one of you can probably remember your first "PEZ moment". To reign in PEZ's 80 Year Anniversary they are releasing limited edition gold and silver Mickey Mouse dispensers.

Each package comes with three separate dispenser. The base of the dispensers are wrapped in gold glitter. I'm sure if you're a collector then you know DO NOT OPEN THE DISPENSER! This is a great collectors item and to top it all off the sales are going to charity.

"dispensers with gold-glitter furnishing, collectors set of 3 dispensers very rare - limited to 100 pieces"

Are Beanie Babies Really Back?


That is a question that I hope to never have to answer. The Beanie Baby craze of the 90's was like nothing I've ever seen before. The lovable animal bean bags were a must have. Everyone from kids to moms to grandparents were collecting them. If you were lucky enough to get in early you might have had some of the rare ones that were priced in the hundreds to thousand dollar range. The Beanie Baby craze was taken to new high when McDonalds launched their mini Beanie Baby promotion. Each kids meal included one mini Beanie Baby. The response was so large that McDonalds across the country limited each customer to only five Happy Meals at a time. Most times the entire supply at each store was gone within one day.

The Beanie Baby craze is definitely not back, but I'm sure there are still plenty of collectors out there. For those collectors that are still out there I have the ultimate Beanie Baby for you. Acg inc is auctioning off the original Beanie Baby. As you know the most valuable Beanie Babies were the bears. This auction is for one of the original bears released in 1993. If you're a true collector then you can't pass this one up. I don't recall such a craze since Beanie Babies, but I'm sure there will be one someday!

"YOU WON'T FIND ONE OF THESE ANYWHERE ELSE !!!This is a GENUINE Vintage 1993 Ty ORIGINAL Teal "OLD FACE TEDDY" (8.5 inches). They are EXTREMELY RARE, in any of the six originally manufactured colors. The hang tag shows his official name as simply, "TEDDY" and is marked Style 4051.

I am the Original Owner. It is in "MINT UNHANDLED" Condition, as is the Hang Tag & tiny white manufacturer's tag. The Hang Tag has been in a protector since the day they hit the market..."

Britney Spears Blackout CD Signed to Support UNICEF


Britney Spears may be having all sorts of problems in her personal life, but that hasn't stopped her from putting out a new CD. As you all probably know the name of the CD is "BLACKOUT". That's a pretty ironic title for her new CD, don't you think? We all saw the disaster at the MTV Music Awards when she attempted to "sing" the title track "Gimme More". I must say that I actually felt bad for her.

Well Britney Spears is back in the news and this time she's on eBay! She is having her new CD auctioned off which she signed both the case and the inside sleeve. I guess if you're a big Britney Spears collector than this CD may be down your ally. The nice thing is all proceeds of the sale go to UNICEF. UNICEF is a great organization so you'll know your money is going to make a difference.

"Britney Spears and X17online are giving one lucky fan the opportunity to own an ONE-OF-A-KIND autographed Britney Spears Blackout CD, signed by the chart-topping singer herself!

You normally think an expensive phone is around $800, but Vertu phones run in the thousands of dollars range. You're probably asking yourself why so much? People who own the phone say reception is second to none. When it comes to usability then quality of reception is number one. Second, the phone is made of titanium and aluminum that is nearly indestructible. Lastly, the phones have a very unique and stylish look to them. On the back of each phone a personal number is engraved which signifies its authenticity. If you're looking for a phone that your friends don't have then this is the one.

Extremely Rare 79-80's Lakers Championship Ball (Magic Johnson & Kareem Abdul Jabbar)


If you know anything about professional basketball then you know the Los Angeles Lakers were one of the most dominant teams in the NBA during the late 70's and 80's. The team was made of up greats such as Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I've seen a lot of great memorabilia from this era, but this one is definitely one of the best. This auction is for a basketball signed by the entire championship team of the 79-80 season. The description in the auction tells a great little story about how the ball was obtained. Here is a little excerpt.

"Extremely Rare 79-80's Lakers Championship Ball signed by the whole Team. The start of the Showtime Era. 1 of maybe only 5 if that. The Staple Center hasn't even seen one before. This was before the days of mass signing. The Laker players weren't even given one. I don't even know if Magic has one. This was given to a friend of mine by his close friend, the Lakers secretary, who took the ball around to every player to get their signatures for her good friend.. Norm Nixon and Jamal Wilkes both who signed the ball both said the same thing to me at different times "Where did you get this, I don't even have one."

As the seller states this ball is truly a rare ball that would be great for any Lakers fan or NBA historian.

I'm not sure how many people will be looking for such a car, but hey, you never know. Here is a short description about the car.
