Man eBay are getting some scoops recently.  MJ’s bejeweled white glove has gone for $49,000 at auction on the site.  It was sold by an Aussie, and I’m trying desperately to remember the story behind it, because I really can’t be bothered to check, but in 1996 he married Debbie Rowe on tour in Australia and that day he threw the glove into the crowd.  Some guy caught it and all thought it had been lost, but then it appeared again.  Wow, I seriously overestimated how exciting that story would be.  To be honest that has got to sit right at the bottom of the list of weird and wonderful Michael Jackson stories.  For it to have stood even a chance of making an impact, Michael would have had to have thrown the glove as he rode into a crimson sky on a unicorn, only swooping down to touch the outsretched fingers of his fans, and maybe to pick up a sick latino boy.  Read more after the jump.

There are more gloves apparently (be still my beating heart) so expect those to be turfed out soon for piles of cash.  God eBay is doing well out of dead people right now.  This glove was bought by a US buyer and will go on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas.  Any other questions?  No?  Good.
