Here's your chance to own a piece of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch
If you've ever dreamed of owning a piece of the King of Pop, here's your chance.
You can pick up Michael Jackson memorabilia — plus items that once belonged to Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and other celebs — at “Legends of Hollywood & Music Auction: Collectibles From the Megastars of Entertainment.” The auction, run by GWS Auctions, begins at 10 a.m. March 24 in Agoura Hills.
Clothes, cars and jewelry make up the majority of the items available for sale.
But there are a few surprises — including an electric train that Jackson and his family once rode around Neverland Ranch, his 2,700-acre estate in northern Santa Barbara County. (Now known as Sycamore Valley Ranch, the property located near Los Olivos remains on the market for $67 million.
According to an online auction catalog, the late music icon purchased the train, manufactured in 2001 by Germany's Elektro-Mobiltechnik, for his children, Prince, Paris and Blanket.
"The train was set up in the yard at Neverland behind the main house, and will come with the tracks and pieces as it was at the ranch, ready to set up and drive," the catalog states, as well as framed photos of the train and ranch. (Bubbles the chimpanzee is not included.)
The opening bid is $2,000 — a small price to pay for hours of thrilling entertainment.
Other Jackson-owed items up for auction include a golf cart, a satin jacket and a Swarovski crystal-studded glove (left-handed, of course). A pair of signed leather loafers will set you back at least $1,000, while you'll have to shell out upwards of $250 for a fedora or $500 for aviator sunglasses.
Those aren't the only auction items with ties to entertainers, of course.
In addition to Monroe's hairbrush and Presley's bumper car, you'll find Elton John's shades, Elizabeth Taylor's evening gowns and Dean Martin's Ford Thunderbird sports car among the offerings — as well as memorabilia from movies and TV shows including "American Horror Story," "Magic Mike" "Titanic" and "A League of Their Own."
