    Michael Jackson's family treasures are going up for auction.

    A large number of items that belonged to the late King of pop - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - and his family have been put up for sale by a company named Vintage Associates, who obtained the property from a major collector of Michael Jackson memorabilia, who has been dec lared bankrupt, the New York Daily News newspaper reports.


    Included in the auction are Michael's sister Janet's old bras, master recordings of Jackson 5 music that has never been released, business and court files, toys owned by Michael and his siblings and even La Toya Jackson's old sex toys.

    Peter Siegel of Gotta Have It! Collectibles - the auction house handling the sale - said: "Some of the items are ordinary items that could come out of any household - but when it has the provenance of being from the Jackson household, that's history."

    In addition to the court documents from a 1987 restraining order Michael sought against a woman claiming to be the Billie Jean from his 1983 hit song of the same name, is a black tuxedo that was worn by his pet chimpanzee Bubbles.

    The online auction comes to an end on September 19 on the auction house's website GottaHaveIt.com.

    The bids for most items begin at $100 with the exception of the unheard Jackson 5 tapes which have a starting price of $1,000, despite the records not being sold with copyrights to publish the songs.

    Siegel added: "This is a great way for the general public to own a piece of Jackson family history for as little as $100.
