Kobe Bryant memorial souvenirs selling on eBay for up to $5,000 – just hours after the heartbreaking event – The Sun

SOUVENIRS gifted to fans who attended Kobe Bryant's memorial service were hawked for thousands of dollars on eBay just hours after the heartbreaking event took place.

Lucky attendees who were present for the procession at Staples Center received several keepsakes, including t-shirts, pins, commemorative tickets, and programs.

Starting bids for certain memorabilia started in the low thousands, with some price tags climbing to an exorbitant $5,000 for users who wanted to "Buy It Now", according to the New York Post.

One eBay listing that offered a memorial tee honoring the late NBA great, a program and a ticket stub from the event had a starting bid of $3,000 on Tuesday.

Another listing solely for the t-shirt was priced at nearly $2,500.

At least a dozen items hovered around $800 to $1,000 as a minimum bid.

Over 20,000 mourners packed into the arena in California to commemorate the life of the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

He and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were tragically killed in a helicopter crash on January 26 alongside seven others while en route to a youth basketball tournament at Kobe's Mamba Sports Academy.

Vanessa Bryant, Kobe's widow, Michael Jordan, and several other notable athletes and celebrities gave emotional tributes to the fallen Lakers star on Monday afternoon.
