Sales of Michael Jackson Posters on the Rise
Visitors to eBay looking at Michael Jackson memorabilia in the weeks leading up to his death, would have been able to by Michael Jackson posters from as little as just one cent. If you were to complete a similar search today, just three weeks later, the story would be somewhat different.
As millions of fans across the world struggle to reconcile Jackson's death, an equally high number of people are looking at the collective outpouring of feeling as a time to profit.
For one company in the UK, this sudden boost has resulted in sales approaching two million in the three weeks since the death of the entertainer. So rapid has been this surge, and with demand increasing daily, extra staff to support the fifty permanent employees have quickly been taken on.
Trade has been so hectic at Pyramid International, that despite the employment of extra staff; working extra shifts at evenings and weekends has become a normal part of the working week.
Until his death, sales of Michael Jackson Posters were averaging just 10, 000 each year; despite Pyramid holding the exclusive rights to sell posters of the star in the UK. However, the order book is today bursting with orders from the USA, Europe and Australia.
The biggest sellers have been the hastily redesigned "This Is It" tour posters. The three commemorative posters were initially produced in celebration of his farewell performances in the O2 Arena in London. That these are now being sold as a final farewell is poignant.
On a global scale, stories like this are replicated, as people are desperate to own their own final images of Michael Jackson.
However, for those fans, (or possibly for those waned fans), who can bear to be separated from their Michael Jackson collection built up through the years; it could also be set to become a very profitable time.
Whilst some fans may have neglected the singer, loyal fans and a younger generation are still in the majority. This fuels the trade and pushes prices even higher than their market value. Whilst they come to market very infrequently, the search is still very much on for the elusive Michael Jackson posters, in mint condition, personally signed by The Thriller, The Moonwalker and the little boy from Gary, Indiana. - 18424
