Nothing! I am so sick of the 24/7 coverage of MJ and the crazy Jackson family. I feel great sympathy for his kids and mother. But turning CNN into the Grieving Michael Jackson Channel is too much. Enough! Let him rest in peace–but I know that won’t happen.
To play devil’s advocate, all the merch was already manufactured long before the tour was supposed to begin (and as a result his death), so all that inventory would just be sitting in a warehouse collecting dust. Since it is official MJ merchandise, the revenue will rightfully go where it should (compared to bootleg shirts sold on the street). Other deceased recording artists have been merchandised and exploited posthumously (Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Kurt Cobain for example) and nobody has ever complained about whether it is in poor taste to do so. Personally I’m not interested in any MJ merch dead or alive.
Never. I will never buy anything of this stuff. He deserves respect, at least now that he’s dead!! I’d buy only new unreleased album staff, as money would go to his children.

I would be okay buying this, it was planned and made long before his death. The companies that made the merchandise would be sitting on a huge loss, so I think they deserve to make their money back. At least its official merchandise.
I am considering buying a shirt – they’re very well-designed and run the entirety of his career, which is cool.
The “Dangerous” tattooed-eyeliner-and-spit-curl sleep mask, however, I could DEFINITELY live without. Ca-reepy.
I personally wouldn’t buy anything, but I do think the merchandisers should have an opportunity to recoup some of their losses. This is official merchandise and not some ghoulish attempt to make money on his death.
Thanks for the tip! I just bought 3 shirts. This is what Michael would want; his fans, fame, and legacy were everything to him and this is the least I could do to pay him some form of respect. And frankly, he deserves every second of this hullabullo considering the crap he put up with in his short life. He was a gift to the world.
Also, buying from this store puts the money in the right place.

I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t even think of buying any of this while he was alive (especially considering I wouldn’t have attended one of the concerts—not for lack of interest though), but I kind of would like a t-shirt I guess. But tour products are always too costly. Hopefully they license out some designs to brands that sell in Target for closer to $10.
Some of the T-shirts were pretty cool. That said, I think MJ’s music is what’s most important. I’m planning on buying the rest of the music I don’t already own, but that’s about it.
Let Michael Rest. He would be so upset with all of us right about now.
I think buying merchandise associated with the concert he was going to do is just wrong now. Just donate it to homeless shelters or something like that
Maybe they can donate the proceeds from these t-shirts, belts and playing cards to the city of LA so they don’t have to fire teachers. Just a thought.
I feel that its tasteful and people want it. But, the ‘Jackson 3′?????
Who benefits from the sale? Does the promoter benefit? His children?
Do you guys know there’s a $20Mil life insurance policy he had and named his kids the beneficiaries. This is getting interesting.
Getting the Limited Edition 3.0 version of “The Essential Michael Jackson” from eBay is probably the most I’ll go out of my way to get anything MJ-related.
this is just really good:

I cannot believe that people might be thinking about buying this merchandise. All of you that buy this artifacts are giving that money to Joe jackson and to all the vultures that are heartless in everyway. What is wrong with this family? Their son just passed away and they are trying to get as much money as they can. If you buy these clothes and artifacts you are contributing to michaels demise. The man that killed him has horrible motives and continues to embark on his quest of fame by portraying these three young children to be his puppets. JOE JACKSON IS A RAT AND SHOULD BE SEEN AS JUST THAT. AL SHARPTON IF YOU CANT SEE THROUGH HIS LIES, YOU THEN PRETEND TO BE BLIND AND IGNORANT. Michael jackson could have predicted all this betrayal in a heart beat. The family should be ashame and should find some other purpose in life than to be abusing of a man that never grew up and that never found his path in life because of this main reason.
Coming from Australia I’ve noticed Ticketek are selling for $50 (roughly US$40) but I stumbled upon another website selling for AU$45 – http://www.michael-jackson-merch.com – I definitely wouldn’t pay any more than $50 but I’ve just ordered the Zombie tee from the above mentioned site. The designs are quality and great memorabilia! They’re also official so surely the money will be going back either to his kids, estate etc???
I might consider buying a T-shirt. I would frame it and hang in my recreation room. Michael entertained me so much throughout his career. But wearing it? No, that’s where I draw the line. Do you think anybody would consider it? Maybe it would be a nice tribute. I just couldn’t.
I would wear it but I would be at least 70% joking

Why would anyone pay merchandise for a tour THAT DIDN’T EVEN HAPPEN?! It’s weird!
Preston I didn’t really think about that. Wow…
The truth. I go to a lot of concerts. I never buy t-shirts, hats, key chains, nothing at all. No memorabilia. Just what’s in my head. That’s what I take home with me. But I never saw MJ in concert. Oh what I would give now to have the chance. My G** …S**t I’m crying again.
I plan on spending at least $200 on this merchandise. I’m a HUGE MJ fan, and I’ll do whatever I can to uphold his legacy. I already just bought a T-shirt and a huge poster.
I would pay any price. I truely do love MJ!
I have a 35-year friendship with my mother’s neighbor in MD. She is quite a collector.Has shelves of Boyd’s bears. She never had children and never wanted any, nor to leave her mother and father. Now she is 53 and like me, not computer savy, but wants to start collecting MJ merchandise, anything and everything.Can she order through a catalog? She needs my help, and soon I will move and not have access to a computer anyway. I am neither for nor against MJ, he said don’t judge me, which is what the Holy bible says, judge not, lest ye be judged. So where do I go from here, by the way what is the difference between Elvis Presley’s estate and Michael Jackson’s? Didn’t his former wife revive his estate to the millions, I agree some of it should go to charity, his children will never want for anything, will they?
