'Lost' auction makes fans Dharma crazy

Over the weekend the memorabilia company Profiles in History partnered with ABC studios to sell props from the TV show "Lost." Among the items for sell were costumes, scripts and setpieces from all six seasons of the popular program.

While the show always caused a certain level of hysteria among die hard fans, no one expected the prices to be as high as they ultimately were.

The highest selling item was the blue Dharma van, which went for an astounding $47,500. While it's no secret that we're huge "Lost" fans, the ridiculous numbers that the memorabilia went for was a complete shock.

Second on the list was the dial mechanism and mirror array from the lighthouse which went for $27,500, while third place was the frozen donkey wheel at $22,500.

Really, the frozen donkey wheel, where in the world are they going to put the frozen donkey wheel? It's not like you can just sit on a shelf someplace?

Since my all time favorite "Lost" episode is "Greatest Hits" I have a special affinity for Charlie's Drive Shaft ring, but seriously $9,000. I'm sure not even Dominic Monaghan would spend $9,000 for what's probably a very inexpensive ring.

I get it, I'm a fan, but some of these items went for crazy amounts of money, so I have to wonder if this is just the last gasp of a television classic or the start of a pop culture legend?

Of course I'm writing this while sitting in a row of Oceanic 815 seats so it's not like I can judge what makes people happy.
