Kobe and Gianna Bryant's memorial memorabilia going for up to R15,000 on eBay

A few days after Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s memorial, people are selling memorabilia from the event on eBay for thousands of Madiba faces.

According to TMZ, those present at the service at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles received memorabilia, including T-shirts, pins, commemorative tickets and programmes.

The bid for certain memorabilia started in the low thousands, with some items fetching exorbitant amounts.

One eBay listing that offered a memorial tee honouring the late NBA great, a programme and a ticket from the event, had a starting bid of R4,572 on Wednesday.

Another listing, for a T-shirt, was at R2,896. The “full package” – ticket, programme, pin and T-shirt – was going for R15,000.

TimesLIVE reported that more than 20,000 fans packed the arena on Monday to pay tribute to the father and daughter who died in a helicopter crash late last month.

Seven other people, including pilot Ara Zobayan, also died in the crash.

Bryant's wife, Vanessa Bryant, is suing Island Express Helicopters for carelessness and negligence. In the 72-page lawsuit, she alleged that Zobayan was careless and negligent by flying in cloudy conditions and should have aborted the flight.

Costs were not cited, but Vanessa said she was seeking general, economic and punitive damages.
