Beautiful art, I just love that man :-)))
The thing that surprised me are the photos! If you are going to list something this valuable and precious would you post photos as strange as this?
One off in angle, very badly! The 2nd shows the painting off to the right and a cleaning man on the left through a window ??
3rd photo shows the painting through a car window! What??!!
The last 3 photos show details on the painting, normal stuff.

I've been an ebayer for too many years and this is just plain strange. Big bucks so it should have great photos. Hmmmm Maybe this is something, maybe not?

mm...unsigned? strange...really strange...5 millions for a unsigned painting?

I love that painting.  Here's a fun fact: the artist, Brett Livingstone Strong, is also the mutual friend who introduced Michael and Lisa Marie.

I wonder if the family has authorized the sale of this portrait.  Probably not.  It seems everything is being stolen right out from under them.  I am outraged about this.

This Ebay seller in the last 12 months has sold mostly used clothing, and mostly in the $25 to $75 range.  When looking at the photos of previous auctions, the photos appear to have been taken in just a very average apartment/house with white walls, plain doors, carpet.

To me, it seems incredibly strange that this person would be in possession of this painting.  I know the "story" is that they acquired it due to an unpaid debt but come on...something is just not quite right about this Ebay seller's selling history.  It just seems very STRANGE to me!   :twisted:  :twisted:

It is an outrage.  They are auctioning just about everything.  Even the treasures you'd think would stay in the family, like the original oil study of "Prince The Boy King" painting.  This really is quite upsetting and disturbing to me, as well.  (Hopefully the final piece of "Prince The Boy King" is safe and with the family)

Can someone tweet that information to one of the Jackson family members like Jermaine? I don't have twitter.

Maybe they don't know and maybe they aren't aware that someone has this stuff? Just my opinion, but if it's a legitimate sale of Michael Jackson memorabilia, it would be shone in the greatest light possible with the proper angles to prove that what a person is getting is authentic. Just my opinion but this gives me a feeling that something is not right.

That is a very good idea.  I don't have Twitter either, so someone else is going to have to.  The Bid is up April 17, so about 10 days left.  We need to act fast.

Great idea!  I'm glad you did it.  Hopefully they will be able to stop it! Let us know if he answers, please.  Thanks.

It sounds like the seller got the painting somewhat legitimately. My concern is that the photos to represent the painting  as for sale are not right. If I had a multimillion dollar painting I would certainly get great photos of the painting and not the janitor in the next room and the car window. See my point? Something fishy! Why through a car window?? For real? Everything has to be complicated.
But I'll watch the listing...
So many odd things going on  8-)

I LOVE you Michael!!!

If it is a fake it would not be signed. But if it is a faKe they could not possibly get 5,000,000.00 for it.  There is something shady going on here for sure.
