Items that once belonged to Casey Anthony are now being auctioned off for astronomically high prices. Serial Killers Ink, the website selling the personal items of Anthony, claim to be the leading and most popular “true crime collectibles company worldwide.” While these websites may seem tasteless to most, the so-called “murderabilia” website are sickeningly popular and specialize in crime-related items, which are in heavy demand. Based off the $800 price tag of the varying items listed in specifically designated “Casey Anthony” store, there are a number of curious people interested in acquiring a piece of crime history.
There are 13 items in total being sold, seven of the items being varying styles of pants, while the rest are Casey’s personal handbags. All of items come from the infamous “Anthony Garage Sale” which took place at the home of George and Cindy Anthony on June 28, 2013 at their Mount Dora House. Christina Werner, a Florida resident, attended the notorious garage sale where she noticed children's toys, travel luggage, a backpack and even several teddy bears, which most likely had once belonged to their dead granddaughter Caylee. “I drove by and noticed the house looked familiar to me. I had seen this house before," Werner said. "I got close and noticed that the people outside really looked like George and Cindy Anthony. It was the home of Caylee Anthony’s grandparents."
Werner stopped at the garage sale, bought a few items, and exchanged simple pleasantries with George and Cindy Anthony. Perhaps realizing the market potential for such personal items, Werner returned the next day and even videotaped the garage sale to ensure authenticity of the purchased items. While Werner took a hard stance on sale stating, "I simply will never understand how these grandparents can put a price tag on Caylee's items." Her opinion never intervened with her flipping the garage sale items for a serious pay out.
Eric Holler, owner of Serial Killers Ink, said he purchased the items from Werner, who provides customers with a signed and notated list detailing the items that were purchased at the garage sale. However it seems that while Holler owns and operates a site which benefits from other’s tragedy, he does have some moral obligation to the victims. "I'm catering to supply and demand," Holler said, but added that he would not sell Caylee Anthony’s toys, which he said crossed a line.
