What's morbid mean? Is it when you bid more?

Why is this morbid as opposed to say, someone that buys a guitar (or reinforced jumpsuit) once owned by Elvis?


I could see your point if it was the clothes she was wearing when she died, but it's not.

Because its clothing I guess. It's a much more personal item than some memorabilia.

A jumpsuit isn't clothing :unsure:

I'm pretty sure Diana would have only worn this particular dress once and felt no particular personal attachment to it. Besides the money raised will go to charity and I rather suspect she would approve.

"jumpsuit"? It's an evening gown.

Read what I posted again ;)

Is it just Diana's personal stuff or is it anyone else's as well that qualifies as morbid.

This isn't a combative question. Obviously I don't see anything morbid with it at all, so I am wondering why you or anyone else would.

For my part I look at it as a piece of history. No more or less sinister than selling a house you inherit.
