Kanye fans are selling GRASS from singer's Coachella Sunday Service for over $400 - and it's not the kind you smoke! (4 Pics)


 Kanye West brought church to Coachella - and now his fans are trying to cash in on the grass they claim they stood on while taking in the usually exclusive show. 

The rapper kicked off the final day of the two-weekend music festival in Indio, California with his Sunday Service concert featuring Gospel renditions of his work performed with a church choir.
In the past the show has only been witnessed by select family and friends, but on April 21 the performer is believed to have graced 50,000 people with the show, and now some of them are attempting to sell the grass they say they stood on at the time on eBay, calling it 'spiritual' and 'holy' grass.
Prices for the lawn clippings range from a modest $7.90 (plus the cost of shipping) to a whopping $435, though that auction comes with a pair of $50 'Jesus Walks' socks which were sold by Kanye at the show. 
The socks were among a spread of pricey memorabilia for sale in a merchandise tent emblazoned with the letters 'CHURCH CLOTHES,' with prices hitting as high as $225.


 One of the eBay listings for the turf was labeled ' Kanye West Sunday Service "Holy Grass" 2/2 .' described as 'new with tags' with a starting price set at $435

The package deal came with 'Jesus Walks' socks and the listing included pictures from the event featuring the Instagram username '@_sinewhen' in an effort to prove the grass was indeed the grass the seller stood on in Kanye's presence at the show.
The listing had 22 bids as of 11am Eastern on Saturday, with four and a half days left until the sale closed.  
 Another listing with the exact same photo, but minus the Instagram username tag, was also labeled ' Kanye West Sunday Service "Holy Grass" 2/2 ,' though it didn't offer up socks as part of the package. The use of the same photo and the same listing name speaks to the point that it would be virtually impossible to prove any grass clippings sold actually came from the scene of the show

Another listing with the exact same photo, but cropped in and minus the Instagram username tag, was also labeled 'Kanye West Sunday Service "Holy Grass" 2/2,' though it didn't offer up socks as part of the package. 
That listing was described as 'pre-owned' for $50.

Yet another eBay post that promised the turf with a set of 'Church Socks' was labeled 'Kanye West Sunday Service "Spiritual Grass,"' described as 'new with tags' and priced at $84.

If you'd rather have the socks by themselves, Kayne is still offering them up online , as well.
A two-pack of socks that spell out 'Church Socks' or 'Jesus Walks' are listed for $50, alongside $195 purple and white tie-dye sweatpants that read 'Sunday Service'. 
The one T-shirt for sale costs $70. The front reads 'Trust God', while the back is emblazoned with the words 'Sunday Service At The Mountain'. 
Kanye's priciest merchandise are sweatshirts with the words 'Holy Spirit' on the front and 'Sunday Service At The Mountain' on the back. 
A white version of the sweatshirt cost $165, while the purple and white tie-dye version is a whopping $225.  

The prices sure didn't scare off festivalsgoers who took in the show in person.
A line snaked around the campground as Coachella attendees waited to grab their threads before Kanye's service began.  
Kanye's official shop also features a cotton 'Sunday Service Poncho' for $75 and a long-sleeved 'Holy Spirit' shirt, decorated with flames, for $100.   
It was nearly an entire hour from the scheduled 9AM start time before Kanye himself appeared on stage, mixing gospel tunes with his own songs for the concert.
