I'm glad that I'm not this far gone.

Honestly thought it would go for more.

That's actually dirt cheap considering how many incredibly wealthy nerds there are. A lot of normal everday upper middle class people will piss more than that away gambling on sports and options.

I thought it sounded cheap for the “cultural” significance as well.

It’s a stand out piece from Star Wars.

The fucker that bought this is going to wear it isn't he? In front of the mirror. For shit and giggles at humanity.

That seems pretty low for one of the most iconic costumes in cinema history.

One particularly wealthy nerd with a massive Star Wars collection dying probably didn’t help that market (Paul Allen.)

I don’t want to know what the buyer is planning to do with it…

Edit: Unless it’s a hot chick. Then I absolutely want to know.
