In the event there are any Cinema Static readers that may be interested, there are auctions going on for both Stargate and Caprica TV shows of props.
It’s an interesting method for studios to recoup some funds from old shows rather than moth-balling everything they used on-set, and it gives fans with the funds the chance to snag some cool stuff.
Right now, the auctions are in week 41 of the Stargate Ebay auctions and week 5 of the Caprica Ebay auctions.

Might be something worth checking out each week if you’re interested.
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:
