I'd say we've hit an all time low in fan obsession, by setting the all time high price record for QAF props & wardrobe items sold on eBay... (as least as far as I know)

Brian's sheer python print shirt from ep. 117 (Dr. Dave's party for the senator, when the gang shows up uninvited and dressed to impress LOL):
just sold for $4,550.00

Brian's leather jacket from a couple of weeks ago didn't even sell for that much, and it's leather... and a coat. And was worn more than once. (It went for $4,075.50)

Oh, and the person who just spent over $4500 for the shirt? It's the same person who spent $1,425.00 on a mini iPod that was a QAF crew gift.

You know, I love Gale and I love QAF and I even won a couple of items from the set sale on eBay myself... but no way would I spend anywhere near that much money on a fandom memento. That's just... irrational, in my opinion. I just don't get it.

Not sure what else to say.
