Jackson Memorabilia To Be Auctioned // Settlement

… ich glaube es geht darum das die Amerikaner mit Sachen außer der der Jackson 5 und der Thriller Ära wenig anfangen wollen… ehh können
…Das ist das Problem …
Meinst du? Also die Jackson 5 waren hauptsächlich in den USA mega erfolgreich. Hier in Europa kam der Erfolg erst wesentlich später und der war auch nicht so groß wie in den USA.

^ das meinte jazz ja

Eben …
Die Amerikaner haben eben mit der Zeit (größtenteils) vergessen wer Michael Jackson ist bzw. was Ihn ausmacht
…Aber die J5 Ära - da war alles noch CLEAN …
Und Thriller unterstreicht den Siegeszug des Amerika's der 1980er Jahre

… no big deal -

Start of Michael Jackson auction less than a thriller
LOS ANGELES - A Michael Jackson MTV award fetched 16,000 dollars (11,900 euros) Wednesday at a huge auction of goods belonging to the "King of Pop" and his famous family, but it was less than a thrilling start to the sale.
In addition to 16,000 dollars for his MTV award for "We Are the World," gold disc awards for his album "Off the Wall" and the Jackson 5 single "I Want You Back" raked in 11,000 dollars each, according to figures available on the Internet.
But many of the items sold at a Las Vegas hotel-casino by Guernsey's Auction House -- which has billed the two-day event as the biggest-ever sale of Jackson family memorabilia -- went under the hammer for just a few hundred dollars.
A platinum record for the massively successful song "Billie Jean" was sold for just 100 dollars, while a picture signed by the pop legend was bought for 750 dollars.
One of the most notable items, a copy of the contract for Jackson's purchase in 1987 of the California ranch that he nicknamed "Neverland," sold for just 100 dollars at the auction held at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Jackson started out in the 1960s with four of his older brothers in the Jackson 5 pop group, which produced a series of platinum records for Motown, selling millions.
Some of the items in Wednesday and Thursday's sale date back to this period, while others are from his hugely successful solo years in the 1980s, when he recorded albums such as "Thriller" and "Bad."
Jackson himself initially opposed the auction before the matter was resolved amicably. The goods belonged to one of the singer's associates but were seized by creditors when the person went bankrupt.
The 48-year-old singer quit Neverland and spent most of the past two years in the Gulf state of Bahrain after a California court acquitted him in 2005 of child molestation charges. He has recently moved to Las Vegas. AFP

…Michael Jackson auction brings in $1.5 million
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - An auction of the King of Pop Michael Jackson's memorabilia this week brought in between 1.5 and two million dollars, said the company that organized the sale, promising to hold another.
Among the 1,100 items for sale Wednesday and Thursday at a Las Vegas hotel were a suit that sold for 22,800 dollars and a black crested jacket for 20,400 dollars, said a statement Friday from Universal Express.
Awards that Jackson won for the collaborative song "We Are the World" and the MTV Video Music Award he won for USA for Africa brought in 20,400 dollars and 19,200 dollars respectively.
"Although the final tally is still being calculated, Universal Express estimates total sales of this first stage to be between 1.5 - 2 million," the company said.
"The extraordinary response to the auction has prompted Universal Express to plan a second Jackson Family auction, which will feature some of the merchandise held back from this week's event, as well as many smaller, less expensive items."
Universal Express had purchased thousands of Jackson family items, goods which belonged to one of the singer's associates but were seized by creditors when the person went bankrupt.
Jackson himself initially opposed the auction before the matter was resolved amicably.
The 48-year-old singer quit Neverland and spent most of the past two years in the Gulf state of Bahrain after a California court acquitted him in 2005 of child molestation charges. He has recently moved to Las Vegas.

Mehr Freude als so ne Auktion zu besuchen hätte es mir bereitet Mike die letzten 25 Jahre bei jedem Award zu begleiten... Das müssen spannende, magische Momente gewesen sein für alle die ganz nah dabei sein durften!

Tjoa ich kann mich noch errinern wie Moonwalker das erste Mal im Kino lief und ziemlich am Anfang die Szene kommt mit nem Teil seiner grössten Auszeichnungen und Trophäen... Huuihjuijui Gänsehaut pur! Wer hätte nur damals gedacht das es eines Tages solche Sachen zu ersteigern gibt...

Jackson memorabilia auction sale close to 2m dollars mark
By ANI
Sunday June 3, 03:27 PMLondon, June 3 (ANI): Memorabilia from the Jackson family pop dynasty almost touched the 2 million dollars mark during a two-day auction in Las Vegas.
More than 1,100 items had been put up for grabs at the sale, led by auctioneers Guernsey's, including souvenirs from Michael's solo career, and his time in The Jacksons.
The two-day auction was the biggest-ever sale of Jackson family memorabilia, including clothes, music sheets and gold disc awards belonging to Michael, Janet, Jermaine, Tito and La Toya.
The final sales tally is still being calculated but the figure is expected to be between 1.5 million dollars and 2 million dollars, with some of the proceeds going to charity.
Universal Express Inc, a luggage company, which acquired the items last March, sold the Jackson collection.
The iconic black and red military style jacket worn by Michael in 1987 was one of the biggest earners, fetching 24,000 dollars.
A collection of gold and platinum albums presented to the Jackson family for sales of 'We Are the World', a charity recording by a group of artists known as USA for Africa, sold for 20,000 dollars.
A 1960s ID card belonging to Michael Jackson, identifying him as a Motown Records artist, was sold for 9,000 dollars and a glittery jacket owned by the pop star went for 19,000 dollars, while a 1984 telegram from the late actor Marlon Brando to Jackson sold for 1,600 dollars.
"We are thrilled with the results of this initial auction," the BBC quoted Richard Altomare, Chairman and CEO of Universal Express, as saying.
"But most importantly, I am excited for the children's charities that will be benefiting from the outcome, and feel proud that we could help these vital organisations," he added.
Jackson opposed the auction at first, but the issue was eventually resolved amicably. (ANI)

…und jetzt das Resume auf Deutsch
Las Vegas (dpa) - Die Versteigerung persönlicher Erinnerungsstücke von Popstar Michael Jackson (48) und seinen Geschwistern hat zwischen 1,5 und zwei Millionen Dollar eingebracht.
Unter den begehrtesten Stücken bei der zweitägigen Auktion in Las Vegas war eine rote Offiziersjacke mit goldenem Besatz von dem Designer Bill Whitten, die einmal in der Garderobe des einstigen "King of Pop" hing. Sie wechselte für 22 800 Dollar (16 963 Euro) den Besitzer, wie das Auktionshaus Guernsey's mitteilte. Eine Trophäe für das Bestseller-Album "We Are The World" brachte über 20 000 Dollar ein.
"Wir sind von dem Ergebnis dieser ersten Versteigerung begeistert", sagte der Besitzer der Sammlung, der Unternehmer Richard Altomare, nach Ende der Auktion. Vor der Versteigerung hatte er in Interviews jedoch über einen Erlös von wenigstens 100 Millionen Dollar spekuliert. Die exakten Einnahmen wurden zunächst nicht mitgeteilt. Guernsey's zufolge ist eine zweite Auktion geplant, bei der die Restposten unter den Hammer kommen sollen.
Versteigert wurden Kostüme, Accessoires sowie Bilder und Dokumente aus dem Familienbesitz der Jacksons, darunter ein aufgeputztes "Mae West"-Kleidchen, mit dem Michael Jacksons Schwester Janet als Achtjährige aufgetreten war. Zu ersteigern war auch der Kaufvertrag für die "Neverland Ranch" in Kalifornien, die Jackson 1987 für 30 Millionen Dollar gekauft hatte.
Der Sänger hatte die Auktion ursprünglich durch eine einstweilige Verfügung verhindern wollen, gab aber nach, als Altomare 20 besonders persönliche Gegenstände von der Versteigerung ausschloss. Die Sammlung gehörte einst dem amerikanischen Geschäftsmann Henry Vaccaro.
Er hatte sie nach einem mehrjährigen Rechtsstreit mit Jacksons Eltern und Bruder Tito um ein geplatztes Geschäft durch ein Konkursverfahren erhalten und in einem Lagerhaus aufbewahrt. Im März 2004 war Michael Jackson gegen Vaccaro vor Gericht gezogen, um die Veräußerung der Gegenstände zu verhindern. Im Januar 2006 verwarf ein kalifornischer Richter die Klage des Popstars. Vaccaro verkaufte die Sammlung schließlich an Altomare.
Jackson war 2005 in einem Aufsehen erregenden Prozess vom Vorwurf des Kindesmissbrauchs freigesprochen worden und hatte danach mit seinen drei Kindern die "Neverland Ranch" verlassen. Kürzlich kehrte er nach Las Vegas zurück, um dort seine musikalische Karriere neu zu starten.

Michael Jackson's Auction Totals Disputed
LAS VEGAS (AP) - June 4, 2007
It was an auction of Jackson family stuff. So it should come as no surprise that there was at least a wee bit of controversy in connection with it.
It seems the auctioneer and seller can't agree on just how much money was made in the auction at the Hard Rock hotel and casino in Las Vegas. One says the stuff went for a total of one (m) million dollars, while the other says it was two (m) million bucks.
Both sides say they are happy with the results, so much so that there will be a sequel. A second auction will be held for items that were withheld from sale or offered for sale but not sold during last week's auction.No date for the second auction has been set.

aber naja vllt hat er ja alles nochmal geknipst

Universal Express Updates Jackson Memorabilia Status
NEW YORK, NY – June 12, 2007 - Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB: USXP)
Richard A. Altomare, Chairman and CEO of Universal Express, Inc., comments on the Jackson Family Memorabilia status and its future plans.
“Having recently completed only stage one of our long-term Jackson auction and memorabilia sale, I wanted to succinctly clarify our present status, sales totals and future plans to all interested parties,” said Richard Altomare.Mr. Altomare continued, “The multiple legal and overly emotional court cases and repeated questions of ownership have generated news stories and have definitely complicated stage one of our initial 1100 lot auction in Las Vegas.”
“Disclosure has been made more difficult due to our now strained relationship with our auctioneer’s inability to give us final sales numbers and our auctioneer’s removal of key lots prior to commencement of the auction, without our permission. In addition, Universal Express recently had a court enforce return of its property from the same auctioneer. That episode and other auction issues will be made public at the appropriate time in the future.
“I continue to stand behind our original estimate of 30 to 200 million dollars for the entire Jackson Memorabilia collection due to the returning items; those items which remain in our warehouse, the tabloid value of some of those items and most importantly the master music tapes.
“Without revealing label discussions and possible financial partnerships our 138 master tapes do include over 23 unreleased songs, which necessitated the need for our initial Las Vegas auction to definitively determine ownership.
“It is legally interesting that ownership must precede sale in the Jackson auction and in all property transactions except, of course, our on-going naked short selling case with the SEC. Permitting sale of stock daily without actual ownership strangely resembles the elements of this case.
“While some of our shareholders lament only an estimated million dollar initial auction, but with over 30 prized lots not auctioned and approximately 25% of the initial lots retained for a future auction; but more informed shareholders may better understand our need to prove ownership, successfully defeat future legal musical claims and initiate dialogue with some highly visible music sources. Our initial media coverage generated millions of branding dollars with millions upon millions anticipated as future sales and master tape announcements materialize.
“The more elaborate the table, the longer the preparation sometimes takes. To those desiring a fast meal, our media coverage should have been sufficient. To those desirous of a memorable feast, we will take whatever legal and negotiation times necessary to achieve our ultimate goals.
“In conclusion, Universal Express has generated positive press, continued its brandings, exposed itself to entirely new markets and industries, and has demonstrated its legal maturation and sophistication. Our Jackson story has just begun. Hopefully the musical sounds will awaken those who haven’t yet grasped the size and scope of our subsidiaries and our ultimate corporate drive,” concluded Richard Altomare.

No Settlement and Janet Jackson Sues in the Universal Case
June 12nd, 2007.
As an unexpected move, Janet Jackson followed his brother and sued Universal Express on Monday.
Furthermore Michael's case with Universal is not settled yet. The parties has a different understanding of the terms of the settlement.
Michael's understanding was he had the pick of 20 lots but was told he could pick items out of a lot and each item would count individually. Judge Bell advised his recollection is it was 20 items and not lots, lots were not mentioned. At Judge Bell's direction, the court recorder played the recording of the 5-18-07 hearing. Judge Bell advised he heard 20 items "from the list distributed last night" and his understanding is Pltf. got to pick 20 items; 20 numbers of whatever that list is.
The Judge insisted that the settlement agreement is not signed yet, and if there is no agreement, there is no settlement. If the parties can not agree, then the Judge will reinstate the preliminary injunction.
Tidbits:
- the Judge first allowed for Jackson to do a video deposition via satellite, but when they tried to set up the video conference between the courthouse and Jackson there were some technical difficulties.
- according to the court papers, Jackson was allowed to select 20 items out of 900 spearately numbered items.
-
Some updates on the Michael Jackson v. Universal Express court case, as of June 15th:
- The judge granted Michael's motion to enforce the settlement agreement with Universal Express (re: auctioned items)
- The judge awarded Michael Jackson attorney fees and related costs in pursuing this matter
- The judge found Universal Express in contempt, and a contempt hearing/trial has been scheduled for July
- The judge granted Janet Jackson's motion to intervene (first filed against Universal Express on 06/12/2007)
- The judge granted permission for inspection of other memorabilia items still in the warehouse
- The judge denied a request for a temporary restraining order against Universal Express
- The judge ordered that all items not involved in this litigation be turned over to Universal ExpressFurther details are still sketchy.
