On Wednesday, thousands of *Gilmore Girls* super fans (full disclosure: myself included) gathered at coffee shops around the country that Netflix had turned into pop-up Luke's Diners for the day. In honor of the 16th anniversary of the premiere of the popular TV series -- which will return for a revival on Netflix on November 25 -- the streaming service sponsored a nationwide homage to the greasy spoon where the Gilmore Girls spent much of their time on the show, complete with free coffee and baristas dressed like proprietor Luke Danes. ***Read More*: [How Can Lorelai Gilmore Afford a $2.8 Million Home?](https://money.com/gilmore-girls-economics/)** After Gilmore Girls fans were served their coffee, coffee, coffee, they walked away with paper cups with a Luke's sleeve and bearing a caffeine-related quote from java junkies Lorelai or Rory. And as any entrepreneurial fan would do, some are now selling their free coffee cups online for as high as $99.99, [Eater.com reported](http://www.eater.com/2016/10/6/13187218/gilmore-lukes-diner-memorabilia-ebay-coffee-sleeves-apron). Luckily, you might not have to shell out nearly $100 for a paper cup. If you missed out on visiting a pop-up diner on Wednesday, and desperately want a used coffee cup with the Luke's logo, you can still find them online for as low as [99 cents](http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gilmore-Girls-Lukes-Coffee-Cup-and-Sleeve-Netflix-Promo-used-Once-/322285928708?hash=item4b09bd0104:g:8VkAAOSw-CpX96O7).
