True-crime fanatics, fancy seeing things from the eyes of Jeffrey Dahmer? You can do that now—sort of. 

 

According to TMZ, a cult fan of the infamous serial killer is selling the glasses he wore during his prison sentence for an eye-watering US$150,000.
 
The specs are being sold by Taylor James, who owns a collectibles business, Cult Collectibles, in Canada. The shop had sold a different pair of glasses previously and once possessed Dahmer’s personal Bible and cutlery from his time in jail.

TMZ just announced that the owner of Cult Collectibles is now selling Jeffrey Dahmer's prison glasses for $150,000 after "recently sold another pair of Jeffrey's glasses in a private sale to a high-profile buyer" following the success of the new Netflix series… pic.twitter.com/AQ6YQrUF6L

James had obtained the Milwaukee cannibal’s belongings from his father’s housekeeper, Lionel. 

 

TMZ reports that the glasses are not hosted directly on the shop’s website, and those who wish to purchase them will have to contact James directly. 
 
The pair of aviators was one of the hallmarks of the killer, besides his swept blond hair and the devious yet vacant expression he had in his eyes, which always hid behind a pair of golden aviator specs. After Dahmer was arrested for raping, drugging, dismembering, and eating several men in the 1970s, he was notoriously always seen with this particular pair of glasses. 
 
He was eventually sent to jail in 1991 at the Columbia Correctional Institute in Wisconsin. A fellow prisoner ultimately killed him.
 
The murderer has recently been making the news again thanks to Ryan Murphy’s new series on Netflix that details his killing spree and grim eating habits.
