If You Want A Piece Of Lou Pearlman, You Can Find One On eBay

Pervy boy-band impresario Lou Pearlman, whose trial on federal bank fraud charges is set for April, has told friends that he’s thinking about copping a plea on those charges that would result in him going to the federal pen for up to 25 years. But that doesn’t mean he’ll be free from jail after that; charges related to the huge investment scheme that he ran through his company Trans Continental Airlines have yet to be filed, and that’ll probably add to his sentence if he’s found guilty. What’s more interesting: The “friend” who told the St. Petersburg Times this little bit of news is now reselling Pearlman’s possessions–which he bought at Pearlman’s two bankruptcy auctions–on eBay, under the username a-v sales. Among the items on offer are an actual MTV Moonman (bidding currently at $560); other highlights–including an award bestowed upon Pearlman by Mikhail Gorbachev–after the jump.

MCDONALDS COOKIE JAR CONTAINER RARE Current price: $9.99. (Shipping costs are $15!) Description: No description, although there’s a close-up of the McDonald’s Seal Of Authenticity that reveals that it’s from 1997. I’m not really sure how this is “rare,” though. Which former boybander should buy it: Justin Timberlake. Ba da ba ba ba!

GORBACHEV AT THE AWARDS BANQUET IN 2002 … INCLUDED IS THE VIDEO OF THE AWARD BEING PRESENTED TO L.J.P.” Which former boybander should buy it: Lance Bass. He’s the thinky one who wrote a book, right?

BACKSTREET BOYS 6,000,000 Units AWARD Current price: $9.99.
