Santaaaaaa! Buddy the Elf’s Costume Magically Sells for a Small Fortune

In news that’ll leave you reaching for your pointy elf shoes, Will Ferrell’s costume for Buddy from the 2003 movie Elf recently sold for more than the cost of a few candy canes — $237,000 to be precise. The auction was by Prop Store, and via TMZ. The costume includes a green pointed hat that comes with a yellow pleated sash and red feather, a matching green tunic with white fur collar and cuffs, a pair of yellow stockings, and black leather shoes with curled toes. The hat, tunic and stockings are all stocked with a Carelli Costume tag reading “Mr. Ferrell,” while the shoes have been labelled “02 Buddy.” The buyer is choosing to remain private.
