The court docs in the MJ suit identify 25 items that were held out of the auction for use in the settlement reached with MJ that allowed the auction to go forward. However, there are a few MJ items that did not get any bids during the auction, that clearly were not available either (multiple absentee bids for each item). Why were these items removed from the auction? Also, other non-MJ items that had multiple absentee bids did not have any action during the auction itself, yet were still closed out for the minimum 100.00 bid.

MJ items (it should be noted that RA’s PR about the auction results claimed that Guernsey’s held out 30 items without his permission – 25 items were actually held out under court order, and below there are 5 MJ items that clearly were also held out):

Also, the following item was originally listed on eBay as part of the auction, but disappeared from the auction before the 4th session occurred:

948: Janet Jackson Address Booklet

P.S. There are a few items that got 2 absentee bids that I did not list above, because I’m not sure if it was possible for two people to make the same absentee bid, and the items seemed to have little possible value, IMNSVHO.
