The Death of Michael Jackson
I got a comment about if I was going to touch on this at all, so I might as well.
Thriller, and a few other of his songs that I can’t name were really good songs. I guess I do like the pop genre the best out of all the genres out there. Other than what I’ve heard from his court trial a few years ago, I didn’t really pay much attention to him.
Last night I learned of his death while watching the Fox news Glenn Beck program.
Shortly after hearing about his confirmed death, my father suggested we list some of our dolls on ebay of Michael Jackson. About 5 minutes after listing a set of the Superstar of the 80′s series dolls (4 of them) in the original unopened boxes, someone hit the buy it now for $650. Its quite amazing to me how people will pay this, but now we are that much richer
I think my father said he paid 10 bucks for the set in the 80s is a really great turnaround compared to the bank. Anyways, since I have listed several other memorabilia, and it was going hot for the first 3 hours and now the excitement is gone and the market is flooded, so I guess I won’t be getting outrageous profits anymore from his stuff, but I’m still quite happy. Looking back on this, I have learned that most buyers buy collectables on adrenline caused by death of the doll’s character.
Anyways, thats all I have to say on this topic
I’m trying to decide on what my next blog topic will be. I’m guessing it is going to be something on ubuntu xen administration since that is my next major project ![]()
