US News and World Report
A pair of iconic ruby slippers that were worn by Judy Garland in “The Wizard of Oz” and stolen from a museum nearly two decades ago sold for a winning bid of $28 million at auction Saturday.
Heritage Auctions had estimated that they would fetch $3 million or more, but the fast-paced bidding far outpaced that amount within seconds and tripled it within minutes. A few bidders making offers by phone volleyed back and forth for 15 minutes as the price climbed to the final, eye-popping sum. More
I’m thinking Dan Crenshaw and Nancy Pelosi are the only two people around with that kind of disposable income.
Faggots are obsessed with that movie and Judy Garland in general.
I’ve got a buddy who owns the original bicycle seat from the Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Oughta be worth a fortune! I mean, Paul Redford (or was it Robert Newman?) put his actual butt on that seat! I figure $10 million minimum!

I bet that bald nuclear fag would like to steal them.
Yea, well the wicked witch of the west is my sister in law. How much is that worth?
The auctioneer really took the ending buyer for a ride because you can buy the same thing at Wally World for in the $50 to $60 dollar range.

That is almost as bad as the guy that paid 6.2 Million for a banana duct taped to a white canvas then turned around and ate the freakin banana.
A fool and their money are soon parted
Is THAT how it goes? I thought it was “A fool and his money are soon PARDONED.!!!
I made those slippers.
Two thieves in wheel chairs and oxygen, sounds like we have a mummy’s curse going on here.
The stuff some people value?
What da hell?
Sometimes the wrong people have money, such is life.
You can’t take your slippers or your money with you.
The big takeaway here is that if you don’t want to do jail time, appear in court in a wheelchair, with an oxygen tank.
