Would you pay $1000 for Marilyn's shoes?

Shoe Collectors Unite! I know at least 2 people who collect shoes. Not just have 40 or 50 pair in their closet but actually go out of their way to collect classic shoe designs. This is one passion I don't understand, but hey, whatever floats your boat. With the cost of a pair of good shoes approaching $3-$400 bucks a pair, is it out of line to spend $1000 for a pair of shoes owned and worn by the immortal Marilyn Monroe? With the glut of people that are mesmerized by celebrities, I suppose they would be a good investment especially since all things Marilyn only increase in value. I must admit there is a mystique about the woman that I can't put my finger on. I would love to own something of hers as a piece of history and it would make a great conversation starter. Here's the link to the ebay auction

 Speaking of shoes, the most famous pair in the world, the ruby red slippers worn by Judy Garland in my favourite movie of all time, "The Wizard of Oz" recently sold at a Hollywood auction for north of $1,000,000 to Leonardo diCaprio, who graciously donated them to the Academy of Motion Pictures new museum. 
I have a pair of 2006 New Balance runners that have only been worn to go to the grocery store on Sundays. I'm open to offers.
