(Los Angeles, CA) -- It's fair to say the person who bought this outfit is screaming from their lungs "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."  

Fans of the holiday movie "Elf" know that line well and now one lucky person can reenact it dressed as Buddy. Someone bought the costume Will Ferrell wore in 2003, dropping almost 300-thousand dollars for it.  And get this, it was only expected to sell for 41-thousand.  

The costume was among other items auctioned the Prop Store in Los Angeles.
