Quoted from ForceFlow:

Well, I ended up putting in a bid on something and won it. What have I done...lol. I'll share details after it becomes official.

I've been there man.

I promise it's the last time I'll mention it, but I just bought Dio's couch.

But hey, I need a couch. Really!

A few more highlights:
Superman costume used in Superman I & II: £130,000 ($172,497.87)

Terminator skull fragment: £16,000 ($21,230.31)
https://propstoreauction.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/138/lot/28711/
Terminator jacket: £20,000 ($26,537.47)
https://propstoreauction.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/138/lot/28712/
Terminator's costume £18,000 ($23,883.93)
https://propstoreauction.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/138/lot/28720/
Terminator endoskeleton £200,000 ($265,370.72)
https://propstoreauction.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/138/lot/28721/

That Terminator jacket is AWESOME. If I bought that it would be my halloween costume every single year. I had no interest in the Dio clothes because his stuff is probably too small for me to use as a scarf.

Don't forget to add a 25% buyers premium, plus taxes, plus shipping to all of this stuff.

Quoted from TheLaw:

WTF is the couch marked down because it was Dio's or something? I'd expect to pay 5-700 for a nice couch like that anyway.
Even with Premium+ that ain't bad.

Most of the “estimated prices” were a fraction of what the hammer cost was. They do this on purpose to encourage bidding. I’m happy to say I got the couch for $500, which is the only reason I bid. I came in super late and missed most of the items. All in with fees $680 but I’m still working on shipping.

NAVL wants more than it takes to ship a pinball machine!!!

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Heh, well, I want to make sure everything with the purchase goes through ok first. The Prop Store said invoices would go out within 24 hours of the auction's end. So, once that happens, I'll share
I may be listing a few pin items for sale, and maybe a project game or two soon to help recoup some of the cost.

Haven't you paid already?

Every recent auction I've been to you couldn't sign up without giving them your CC.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Alright, the invoice is in--looks like it's official now!
I got the Stargate Universe space suit.

That thing is over 6ft tall. Yikes!

I'm gonna guess $8,000 all in as it's TV not a movie.

It's a funny thing winning an auction like this. The last thing you expected when you woke up yesterday is that you'd own the Stargate space suit. And yet here you are...drowning in emotions of excitement, fear, regret, anxiousness...it's gonna be ok man!
