Is any vintage suit worth $25,000?

Apparently this Ebay seller, finest_threads thinks this suit formerly owned by Aaron Spelling is worth 25K:

If that's too much he has a sport coat(that looks like an orhaned suit coat) for only 17K:

They are both by Giacomo Trabalza in Beverly Hills. I've heard of him but know nothing of his work. I would think that Spelling(May he RIP), bought the best, but it's kind of absurd to ask these prices for Spelling's Trabalza suits.

Can anyone think of a vintage suit worth 25K. I'm thinking of Paul McCartney's Sgt. Pepper suit(which he supposedly still has), being worth 25K but not these Spelling suits!

What about any vintage Lobb boots?

As an aside, the white three-piece from "Saturday Night Fever" certainly was worth more than $25,000 when it was sold at auction.

take the listings posted today with a grain of salt...it was a $.20 listing fee sale (so no matter the starting price, the eBay insertion fee was only twenty cents).

Did any of the Duke's suits go for that much when they were auctioned?

I imagine any item of real historical significance would command that much. Lincoln's assassination coat, for example, or Kennedy's inauguration clothes (hat not included).

If sellers would spring for an extra 10 cents, they could avoid the glut of overpriced auctions all ending next Wednesday.

I don't think Aaron Spelling's daughter is worth $25k.

Not sure what anything is worth and suppose its worth what the buyer is willing to pay.

Considering Spelling had the single largest house in the state, I would image his daughers finances exceed that amount regardless of her worth.

I seen a couple hats past fetch 10 grand on eBay but know of hatters that get 3 times that from their bespoke ones.

How about 17K? She's had a lot of work done to her!

As anyone who's ever worked on a car can tell you, you never get it back when you sell it.

She MAY or may not be the exception to the rule. I am guessing she is worth some small fortune. Any idea how many shows that man started on tv? Seen a docu on him once and it was simply amazing at all he has done.

Sorry to be off topic, but I just looked that up and... WOW! That's some house (56,000 square feet?). It's for sale, apparently... at $150,000,000. Apparently creating TV shows yields a pretty good income.

John I think that is just the main house and the complex is very sprawing and house actually runs an acre or two if I recall correctly.

Well, dammit, I'm not buying unless I can get the topper.

I could never do that, that is like a weeks worth of Chris Despos suits which I know I will love.

sure it's worth that much, if you can put it in a museum and charge people to see it.
