Lost Final Scene in Credits
If you remember, a while back there was an auction with props and such called “Lost” The Official Show Auction.
Despite my wanting to participate in these events, I know I need to bring the big guns to the table… it ain’t Ebay, and hence, I don’t usually get what I’m shooting for. (I need a sponsor… that’s what I need!) But some folks made out pretty good. Especially those who could afford props like the Dharma Van, or Hurley’s Camaro, the Dharma Jeep and so on. Yes… I would need really deep pockets for that.
With that being said, I was sent a preliminary example of list of what items did sell for what. I thought you’d like to check out the press release from Profiles in History… the organization that held the auction:
