What's better than an autograph? Why, a boogie board with the name of the owner scrawled on the back, of course -- if that name happens to be Bernie Madoff.
Madoff's personal affects will be auctioned off this weekend by Gaston & Sheehan, an effort expected to net $500,000 for victims of Madoff's elaborate Ponzi scheme. Along with three of the aforementioned boogie boards, the auction will feature fine furs and jewelry, Mets fan memorabilia, diamond earrings, a Monoblocco Rolex, and close to 200 other items.
If you're a truly high roller, though, perhaps you'll want to wait until November 17th, when the U.S. Marshals Service will auction off Madoff's three boats in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Sorry Madoff fans, but his house in Montauk is already taken. A mystery millionaire bought it last month for $9.41 million, about $650,000 more than the asking price. Economic climate be damned, right?
