O.J. Simpson Arrest Spurs Buying Frenzy on SportsMemorabilia.com

O.J. Simpson arrest creates a large boost in traffic and customers on SportsMemorabilia.com. Demand for autographed Simpson sports memorabilia surges as novelty enthusiasts and serious collectors fight for remaining stock.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 20, 2007 -- SportsMemorabilia.com, the Web's leading retailer of sports memorabilia (http://www.sportsmemorabilia.com), has experienced record sales, traffic and call volume in the wake of O.J. Simpson's arrest for allegedly robbing two victims at gunpoint on September 13. The crimes took place in a down-market Las Vegas hotel room and involve a variety of autographed sports memorabilia, with some of the items signed by Simpson himself.

"So far in 2007, our company has enjoyed steady and consistent monthly growth, with normal seasonal fluctuations. The recent O.J. Simpson event has, however, created a bonanza that's keeping our phone representatives busy around the clock. Sales of O.J. merchandise and football merchandise in general has skyrocketed," said SportsMemorabilia.com CEO Stefan Tesoriero.

Autographed O.J. Simpson memorabilia (http://www.sportsmemorabilia.com/player/O.J._Simpson) is now in short supply.

"We are taking orders at such a frantic rate that we have customers placing an order online, then immediately calling to confirm availability and delivery date. It's just like what we experience after our December 15 cutoff for Christmas delivery," Tesoriero stated.
