Well, no nightmares at all.... it's a matter of life, or a matter of money! After years bidding I understood that there is anything impossible to get. Some lost items (by any reason) appears again and again.... also *unique* pieces... like original screen used props... Sometimes the owner cannot pay debts.... and sells whatever to get out of risk... and then, you get another chance...

Others, is simply a patience question. I don't bid NEVER online... Why to rise the prices myself? Snipping at ending time is more helathy for my pocket... and, yes, I lost many times, but won many amy times... and pay less... Smile

Let's talk about those props.

1. The Cibi Double Old Fashion could be bought, brand new, for around $50 online. I have three of them at similar prices.

2 and 3. This spinner and sedan are worth a penny? Don't take me wrong. I buy ANY spinner I can afford... toys, mockups, lego, pictures, negatives, blueprints, books, ANY... But this particular two ones are rusty and weird... I will not pay so much for them... Recently, I bought a pile of junk (yeah, A GREAT PILE OF JUNK) from a prop maker hobbist... only for two pieces in the lot. A resin spinner and a sedan one. The spinner needs some finishing, but it's ok. The sedan is only a project not finished at all. But... well, the complete junk was cheap.

Ebay is a great way to find some jewels, and also some junky. The main question is, where we have the boundaries as collectors... (I don't have if you ask! Very Happy)

Let's fo how these auctions end....
