That's enough purple helmets for one morning.

(That's a very expensive collector's item; I wonder how many super-Mitrowskis there are out there)

[>>>JZS<<<]

I'm Out.  I don't even see an 'M' on that thing.

Who exactly painted it ?

[Pelican]

Incredibly weak art given the price tag.

[Jaron]

This has gone too far.

I was expecting a nazi helmet or something less gay.

anyway wtf..that thing wouldn't be worth that much even if it WAS solid gold!

Incredibly weak art given the price tag.

Couldn't agree more.

Kozik sold for US$ 10.000.

Melvins and Haze XXL still for sale.

What if I told you that helmet came with a super limited edition single?

Well, then I wouldn't be the least surprised!

um  actually, yeah it would.. Gold is worth about $1100 an ounce, and there is 16 ounces in a pound. So a pound of gold would be worth around $17,600  And the size of that thing IF it were solid gold would be more than a pound.  Soooo Technically it WOULD be worth more than what they are selling it for...


Im just sayin

[gesundheit]

Owned.
