Divide those selling prices by a factor of between 25 and 15 to obtain the "parity price." <br /><br />That is, the price they would sell for in 1925 to 1950 dollars. At that rate, Marilyn's dress would go for $375,000 in 1950 dollars, and there were quite a few even in 1950 who would have gladly paid that. Especially if a ticket to dinner with Marilyn came with the dress. <br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://extranosalley.comnoreply@blogger.com
