Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book up for auction again — but this time it’s 50% off

A communist from Vermont hopes to finally turn a profit on one of Jeffrey Epstein’s little black books.

Christopher Helali bought one of the convicted pedophile’s infamous address books for $425 off eBay in 2020, from a woman who’d found it on a Manhattan sidewalk more than two decades ago

It’ll be up for auction in March, when Helali, 36, hopes to get upwards of $50,000.

It’s a considerable drop from the $100,000 he wanted when he first tried to sell the book in June, and again in August — the book bombed twice at auction last year.

The 64-page address book, offered along with a forensic examiner’s report verifying its authenticity, managed to attract a bid over that asking price last year, but the prospective buyer reportedly got spooked before the deal closed.

“It was so radioactive,” said Bill Panagopulos, president of Alexander Historical Auctions, who is facilitating the latest sale.

The book, dated October 1997 in a handwritten note, contains names, addresses and phone numbers of 349 people — 221 of whom were not named in a later, more infamous little black book Epstein kept, and which was seized by the FBI to investigate the disgraced financier’s sex crimes.

Had this one not mysteriously appeared on a Manhattan sidewalk in the 1990s, it would have likely had the same fate.

“It’s an item that’s so unique, it’s the only one that exists of its kind that we know of that’s for the public,” said Helali.

Helali a Vermont social studies teacher who ran unsuccessfully for Congress as a member of the Communist party in 2020, now serves as the American Communist Party’s international secretary.

When the book comes back on the market next month, it’ll be up for a public unreserved auction — meaning there will be no minimum asking price.

The auction comes as Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans have been calling on the Trump administration to subpoena all files on the late sex offender.
