At the time of this posting, the hat worn by Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain has passed the $10,000 mark in a new Ebay bin, with three days still to go.
Proceeds benefit Variety Children's Charity of Southern California.
The jacket Ennis wore is
also up for auction, and compared to the hat it's a steal now for just over $1,825. This auction goes to benefit L.A.'s Outfest film festival.

10000$ for a hat?well,it's one very sexy hat ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is! It belonged to Jake, after all... ;)
ReplyDeleteIndeed a lot of money. Kendra, did you read how the guy who 'bought' that rare album of The Velvet Underground on E-Bay for over $155,000, turned out to not have even enough money to buy gas for his car, as he put it..?! Ha Ha! He's lucky the seller was nice enough not to sue him (or so I understand).
ReplyDeleteIt sort of reassures me if the poor house should ever loom up before my very own eyes, I have some original Beatles stuff that probably is worth something. I wonder how much I would get for my White Album to which I glued to the inside of that double cover a picture of them signed by all four Beatles in 1968?!
Yes, Penny, what a fraud, I read it in www.cnn.com and here in the Wilco Message Board. Funny thing I didn't believe for a minute that it was an original. His story of conversion of the acetate to a digital copy seemed contrived.
ReplyDeleteIn the Viachicago Forum you have to be registered to read and the first Cnn link is wrong, now if it works here.
ReplyDeleteSimon, that was an interesting explanation. Actually am gonna read it again!
ReplyDeleteVery complete technical explanation, Simon, I see you're an expert in this digital matter.
