Who would buy such a piece of memorabilia?

The Enquirer (via RadarOnline) notes that a collector is interested in the knife, now twenty years after Simpson was acquitted in what was dubbed "the trial of the century."

The asking price for this item? An insider tells the tabloid that Simpson is negotiating a $5 million deal.

The source squeals, "O.J. wants the deal to be a well-kept secret. He's looking for a strictly cash deal so that the money can be deposited in offshore accounts and can't be traced directly to him."

At the time of the murder and subsequent trial, the knife was a missing piece of evidence, with rumors that Simpson had somehow disposed of it.

The source shares, "It's not just about the money. O.J. will get a sick satisfaction from putting one over on the cops and Ron Goldman's family. He'd love to think he's outsmarted them." Sure that he has a lot of time to think about just that as he sits in his Vegas jail cell.
