Buyers typically seek [[collectibles]] that are either artifacts used or owned by murderers ~~and~~or items (often artwork) created by them. According to crime writer Leigh Lundin, buyers may be interested in the macabre, but many believe such artifacts offer power and control.<ref name="merch">{{cite web| last=Lundin|first=Leigh| title=Merchandising Murder | url=http://www.sleuthsayers.org/2012/01/merchandising-murder.html |work=Murderabilia | publisher=SleuthSayers |location=Orlando | date=2012-10-15}}</ref>
