But not all customers were simply interested in getting a piece of Trebek's valued items. Visitor Monica Tiller told the news outlet she was interested in touring the host's home, comparing the "magnificent" space to "the Getty estate" because it's "so large."

The sale began Thursday and will run through Sunday.

Before this week's estate sale, Trebek's daughter, L.A.-based real estate agent Emily Trebek, put the property on the market. She co-listed it with fellow Compass agent, Renee Ogiens.

Trebek died in November 2020 at age 80. He had been battling stage four pancreatic cancer since 2019.

"Jeopardy is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex," the show tweeted at the time.

Trebek had told PEOPLE before his death that hosting Jeopardy! gave him "quality of life." Despite being in that role for more than 30 years, he had no plans to retire.

"Why would I retire?" he also previously told PEOPLE. "If I did, my wife would probably say I was home too much and getting on her nerves!"

In the months after his death, the long-running game show launched a search to find his replacement. Aaron Rodgers, Robin Roberts and LeVar Burton were among a long list of stars to guest host before executive producer Mike Richards was initially selected as the new permanent host.

Richards, 46, resigned shortly after as his past offensive comments resurfaced. Because of this, Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings were tapped to split Jeopardy! hosting duties.
