NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - From a $150 Air Force One jelly bean jar bearing Ronald Reagan's signature in gold to his signed memoirs priced at $4,000, the market is suddenly flooded with memorabilia related to the nation's 40th president.

In fact, online auction site eBay (EBAY: Research, Estimates) had more than 6,300 Reagan-related items listed Monday, with a majority put up for auction over the weekend.

On Amazon.com's top 100 bestsellers list Monday, the Reagan books "Reagan: A Life in Letters," "I Love You, Ronnie: The Letters of Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan" and "Ronald Reagan: An American Life" occupied the 20th, 34th and 38th slots.

The top-selling book on Amazon was a memoir written by another former president, Bill Clinton's "My Life," which is scheduled for publication later this month.
