Holiday movie magic is apparently worth a small fortune, because Buddy the Elf’s iconic green-and-yellow costume from the movie “Elf” just sold for over $300-thousand! The costume is the very one Will Ferrell wore while gleefully hitting every button in the Empire State Building elevator, making it a prized piece of Christmas-movie lore. With only a handful of originals ever made, fans weren’t shy about driving the price into the stratosphere. The sale was part of a larger London memorabilia auction that offered hundreds of other film and TV treasures.
