Have a few too many zeroes in your bank account balance? The dude abides.

Now you can buy The Dude's sweater from The Big Lebowski.  The opening bid is $10,000.

I'm not sure what's more frightening, the fact that it costs that much, or the fact that, if I'm reading correctly, that's not the opening bid.  The small, green italicized superscript next to the current bid proclaims that the $4,000 reserve has been met, suggesting that bidding started at or below 4 grand and has now escalated to 10.  Granted, the bidding seems to be set in increments of 1,000, so even for it to go from 4 to 10 only takes 6 bids, but I just can't imagine paying that much for a freaking sweater, regardless of its origin.  Hell, I can't imagine paying that much for a vintage smashed NIN keyboard, and my fangirlish tendencies still run high in that vein.

I could see paying that much for the carpet; you know, the one that ties the whole room together.

I'd rather buy that weird baseball jersey he wears.

Aw, the link's dead now and doesn't specify how much the thing went for.  I'm curious now.

People are insane.

[Naylzie]

That they are.  I'd like to see just HOW insane.  I'm intrigued.
