Actually if I am right that is a line from a brit tv show Absolutely
Fabulous about two drunken, upper-class women with too much money and no
taste.  The gag is that they went around all of London buying crap with
hundreds of thousands of pounds as a price tag.  Was it art?  Must have
been, sure was expensive.

I could be wrong but I don't think the respondee meant anything by it but a
funny way to say 'good job.'  And a good job it is I might add. :) 
Contacts are the bane of all our existences.
