Some of Bernie Madoff’s high priced items will be auctioned off this weekend.

In the continuing effort to raise money for victims of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, an auction of jewelry and other items formerly owned by the disgraced financier or his relatives is scheduled to be held in New York City on Saturday.

Three former Madoff yachts and one that belonged to his top financial aide, Frank DiPascali, are to be sold in a separate auction next week in Florida.

“We’re trying to get as much as we can for these items so we can raise money for all the victims,” Roland Ubaldo, a Marshals Service spokesman in New York, said Monday. “We’re very hopeful, because there’s already been all kinds of interest.”
