Everyone knows that the best time to find bargains on celebrity memorabilia is rightbefore someone dies, and Michael Jackson is no exception.

But perhaps you wish to start your own Michael Jackson memorial site now? Look no further than EBay, where domain names such as michaelthekingofpopjackson.com or touchedbymichaelsmusic.com are up for the low, low price of $10 million apiece.

But why stop with a website? Share your love of the gloved one with everyone on your buddy list with the unique AOL screen name KingPopMJ. With a starting bid of only $5,000, you can’t afford not to buy it.

Are you a controversial third-world dictator? Or perhaps a Colombian drug lord? Maybe you’re just really unpopular. Now you can protect yourself in style with this one-of-a-kind Michael Jackson bulletproof vest! Supposedly worn by the King of Pop himself, this vest can be yours: Bidding starts at a mere $10,000.

As you know, the L.A. Times usuallyprints the newspaper only once a day, which means that if you missed today’s paper chronicling Jackson’s death, you’re pretty much out of luck. But don’t fret. Fortunately for you, some readers are willing to part with their copies of the paper. You might even be able to snag one for as little as $10,000!

For the more frugal fan, there are plenty of tasteful T-shirts and stickers. This memorial shirt is running for slightly less than $20.
