What is the purpose of ears in Diablo II

Question

This is something that has always puzzled me since the release of diablo 2. What is the purpose of collecting ears? I know that if I kill someone in PvP I get an ear with their name attached to it. Do these offer any value or is it just a "treasure"?

Good to see people Still Play Diablo 2 AND PVP on this Awesome game by 2011. I also play it, and i can garantee is not because of the graphics. This game is awesome — Marcello Grechi Lins, Mar 16 '12 at 11:06

Ears are just a "trophy" to show that you killed someone. Ears can be sold for 1 gold, but apart from that, they are useless.

No, they don't have any value other than you can show off who you have killed in PvP. They are just a trophy for Player kills.

They have more of a relevance in hardcore to show that you killed OR died in pvp combat. Some players in the PvP community hold them ransom over other combatants.

On the PS4, there’s an achievement for collecting 20 player ears.
