If it was a Vera Wang, they might have needed to give it back. It looks like most of the costumes they're selling are either (relatively) inexpensive off-the-rack stuff or things that were special-made for the show.

I'm thinking that the cost of Anya's wedding dress is probably not that much different from some regular wedding dresses. (Currently, $1725.00+ - -includes veil and jewelry.)
Well, consider that the auction is geared toward wringing money out of people in a heightened emotional state who will go to extreme lengths to get an item of great sentimental value to them. Sounds very similar to the standard M.O. of bridal shops to me.

I can't even.
Woah, Matt. Good one!

This is the right bunch of geeks alright. I bought the S1 and S2 dvds from Australia before I had a dvd player, then went seeking a dvd player I could coerce to my region-free will. *grins*
Great letter that Claris forwarded. Oh, and the Shadowcaster thingy. That was something I thought of when talk of the auction and what things might be memorable. Hmm. Don't think I'll be blowing several months rent on it tho.

Yeah, while I could probably technically afford to buy one of the second tier or lower items, there aren't any props from the show that I'd enjoy enough to blow that kind of cash on. Now if they come up with a working version of Anya's power center, we can talk.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Anya's pajamas were off the rack, as was the wedding dress. The veil was handmade. The bridesmaid dresses were handmade.

Extremely informative and articulate article, Allyson. Congrats!

I would probably have considered blowing some ridiculous sum on Buffy stuff if the proceeds were for charity. There is no way I will fund FOX.

The item I would like (if, you know, I had actual money to blow on such stuff) would be the map of Sunnydale circa 1847. The current bid on it is $1,026.01. It shows that yes, Sunnydale is on the coast!

The coast of the desert?
