Battlestar Galactica prop auction

[Darklord Dave]

I didn't see a thread on this - going on today and tomorrow is a massive live auction of BSG costumes, props and set pieces.

I was just down there and they have some great items including 3 life size vehicles. The Cylon raider wasn't there, but the raptor and a Viper were on display and were very cool. None of the vehicles met the reserves though and didn't sell. Tons of costumes - I saw Starbuck's and Apollo's costumes sell for a ton. Even background black BDUs went for $500.

They have all the bridge consoles from the Galactica for sale too - incredibly cool pieces. I'm going back to tomorrow to see if I can get some of the guns, but they only have rubber stunt guns, I guess cast and crew took all the good ones.

great link Dave!! life size vehicles would have been amazing to see... i mean OWN! My wife loves guns so she's jealous of your trip! Good luck tomorrow on finding some good ones.

I would love an original Cylon Costume. I have two Original Cylons that are identical to the new Amoktime Figures. I think they should have totally updated the Cylons before re-releasing them. A scanning Red LED would be cool and maybe justify the price hike. I also added some meshed silver diffusion material for heir capes, like the ones Amoktime added, but better. I bought them when they were $24.99. I wish I got the Tower Records Gold Ex. back then but The silver ones were seen more so I was happy with just them.

Tomorrow they're auctioning a whole vintage Cylon costume used in the Razor flashbacks. They had the helmet on display which had the running red LEDs. But it looked kind of like a toy. It had holes in the top, for sound I guess as the catalog says it also plays a variety of phrases from the show.

I was surprised to see that the Raptor was the same size as the Viper, but it had a far more detailed interior with lots of working lights. If I had a warehouse somewhere and an extra $40K lying around I would have jumped on it.

Did you take any pics Dave?

My camera was being tempermental yesterday, but I got a few today. The guns went for way over the estimates and what I was willing to pay. Have to seek out some replicas now I guess.

I JUST WON AN AUCTION!!! Won the knife display set that was in the Pilot rec room. 5 very cool, alien looking knives that the announcer thought belonged to the different colonies. Super cool....wish I had a pic I could save.

It kinda makes me depressed, you know, that all this stuff is going out to the four corners of the world, never to be seen again...

There's only a few things I'd actually want to buy though. I recognize lots of the stuff, but some of it is just too insignificant to be worth buying the prop.

Yeah some of the stuff was a little strange, imo. Like the oxygen wall tanks....they were just silver...no BSG logo...nothing....they went for $400.....I ended up bidding on the auction I got because even if you don't recognize it from BSG it's an eye catcher and good conversation piece. It had a lot more artistic value to me than a lot of the other thngs they were selling.

 

[Darth Waller]

That's a cool knife set. Congrats, Jen!

 

[Memnoch]

Im tempted to make a play for that Picon visitors badge since my sign is Pisces.

 

[Jen]

I would love the Book of Pythia.....but no more bidding for me. I have a feeling a lot of these items are really going to go up. Similar items that were sold during the live auction went for at least double.....and this is a lot of people's last chance to get something. It's going to be madness in the final minutes.

Edit: On Jan. 20, another 200 items will be offered on eBay. Additionally, beginning Jan. 23, each remaining Battlestar Galactica show will include a weekly eBay auction featuring props from that episode.

More auctions to come!!

One of the coolest snags this board has ever seen, IMO, Jen. Kurgratualations.

Thanks Marc. It's costing me a pretty penny with the additional 20% Buyer's Premium, taxes and handling/shipping added on.

But I'm still glad I got it.

Thanks for the heads up, looks like I'll have to check out those eBay auctions. Nice pics Dave!
