Did you say that you paid $35,000. for a piece of hair that was once on John Lennon's head? Are your for real Paul Fraser from United Kingdom? You must have really loved the singer John Lennon from the Beatles group! How much would you be willing to pay for a few ounces of my hair? I know I am not famous like the Beatles but still I used to have nice thick hair and I have it saved for a while. Just in case!

I wouldn't want the hair even if they paid me. Well maybe for $35,000 I would take it.

I guess I would take it if someone gave me that kind of money and then I would hide it as deep as possible.

Okay, if they paid me, I'd take John Lennon's hair, too. Or anybody's.

You can sell it but probably not as much as that lolz Wonder where Johns hair came from? Did Yoko sell it or something?

Right, such a bizarro concept. Did his stylist save it? Did the maid sweep it up and save it?

Seriously, just what does one do to have a lock of hair from a famous person? Do you frame it? Do you put it in a display case? Do you brush it?

@marlina Better clean out the brush - it'd be expensive to lose even one strand of hair!!

There is an example of wasting money because one has too much of it.

I also saved several ounces of my very long hair the day I decided to cut them. The ponytail looks great, I think I should sell it to a wig maker.

If someone is stupid enough to want to collect a lock of hair they deserve to pay more than $35,000.

Have you considered selling your hair? There are great demands for real hair, as long as you have not dyed it or perm it or used chemicals to treat the hair. The demand comes from cancer patients who have lost all their hairs, and the wigs have to make partially or fully of real hair to look nice.

Some people have more money than brains. Is it really his or maybe belonged to someone else... Could be a scam...

Perhaps they want to use his DNA and recreate him. If not, I can't imagine why someone would pay that much.

I would leave that lock of hair on the shelf. I hope this is an good investment for the this Fraser guy. I could not imagine spending this kind of money on a few ounces of hair.
