Murderabilia - Making Killing on Items eBay Won't Sell
Making Killing on Items eBay Won't Sell

As creepy as it may be, there’s a market for people who want to by murderabilia, aka memorabilia from murders.  Examples of such items often get posted on eBay.  Recent examples include: copies of OJ Simpson’s unpublished book, ‘If I Did It, Here’s How it Happened’, photos from September 11, and a ballpoint pen from serial killer John Wayne Gacy.  However, eBay has a policy that prevents such items from being sold.  As a result, a number of other sites are springing up, which don’t have such policies.  These include Supernaught.com, Serial Killer Central, and MurderAuction.com.  The latter was started by a former eBay member after he was booted by the giant auction house about three years ago.

EBay wrestled with a similar issue last month when copies of O.J. Simpson's book, If I Did It, showed up for sale on the website. They were quickly pulled off, although the murderabilia policy never came into play. "We were contacted by the publisher, who owned the rights to the book," says England. "It was an intellectual property issue for us, and we never got around to asking if it was murderabilia or offensive material." (wired)
