this seller is auctioning around 170 pieces of the Boardwalk Empire wardrobe on U.S. ebay.
a mixture of bespoke and vintage:

Some really cool stuff there, especially the ties. Some of the suits would fit me, but the price does not...

unfortunately, they don't have my favourite suits... Jimmy's two tweed olive ones from season one.

fortunately, my bank account can sleep well tonight.

The ties ain't cheap!

I see that they have used this photo to advertise the listing:

The suit is rather standard looking, but in reality the suit they are selling is much nicer:

The neckties where on sale for $1 each when they where cleaning house at the wardrobe sale, so this is a nice mark up as you can see. And they aren't even that great for the price you are paying. Most of them are just boring and the ones that are actual vintage from the 30s (there are No actual 20s neckties here) are too expensive to justify. Some of the ties are even from the 60s

They are just trying to bank on the fact that they are from a TV show. I don't buy into that.

yes, i suspect that these auctions will mainly appeal to obsessive fans of the show.

the starting prices for ties are way too high for most vintage wearers (and the shirts are modern repro).

I though the show had a disappointing end but how do you finish these type of classic shows?
