A search for Madoff on eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) yields 85 listings. There's a Bernard L. Madoff Canvas Attache + Madoff Post-it Pad that went for $50. You can also get a Bernard L. Madoff Securities Mousepad -- the bid is already up to $76.
According to The New York Post, "Other items include humidors, binoculars, beach towels, coolers, mousepads, shirts and jackets. The most expensive doodads so far include a Madoff flashlight that sold for $387 and a fleece sweater that went for $455."
The bidding appears to be quite active with original Madoff apparel getting multiple bids. Is it a good investment? History indicates that it probably isn't. Enron memorabilia was hot on eBay shortly after the company's collapse but a search for "Enron" on eBay now yields many listings and few bids.
If you want some Madoff memorabilia to decorate your office -- and lord knows, it's a great way to put clients at ease and inspire confidence -- it might be a good idea to wait a few months.
