Christie’s and Sotheby’s made news recently with announcements about raising their Buyer’s Premiums (the amount the winning bidder pays on top of the hammer price of an item at auction).

Original Prop Blog 2.0

Original Prop Blog 2.0 | opb ver 20 graphic x380

In case you haven’t noticed, the Original Prop Blog looks very different. I am in the process of implementing a new theme and interface, which I hope will make for a better experience for readers.

I will continue applying updates and changes over the coming days, but I’ve gotten to the point where changes required of existing content are not as compatible under the old format, so I’ve decided to push the site to the new design now.

If you prefer the former linear/static blog, “newest at top” format, I plan to launch a replacement page shortly under the old interface. This will be accessed under a “Blog” button in the header.

I am also recoding existing articles by sub-categories to make it easier to find content. As an example, under “Special Interest“, there is a “Movie Guns” sub-category with a listing of relevant articles.

There are a number of other changes, such as “Prop Links” being pushed off to a dedicated page, rather than crowding the sidebar.

If you encounter any issues or problems, please contact me. It will take a little time to refine the content to the new interface, and make further tweaks and additions. I also have a number of additional enhancements in the works.

Bonhams “Superman IV Flying Suit” (June 2008 Auction)

The upcoming Bonhams June 18, 2008 “Entertainment Memorabilia” auction held at Knightsbridge (see article) features a Superman costume attributed to use by Christopher Reeve in the fourth installment of the film series, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

The Bonhams site features Flash technology so that interested parties can zoom in on the supplied photo for more detail; while time consuming, it is possible to then piece together a larger, higher resolution photo using Photoshop, which I have done to take a closer look at this costume.

It is part of Sale 15801, Lot 108: LINK [Read more…]

Auction Depot L.A. & Global Antiques Entertainment Memorabilia – Two Weeks of eBay Listing/Sales Activity

I thought it would be interesting to analyze the public eBay sales activity of Auction Depot L.A. (auctiondepotla1 on eBay) and their Entertainment Memorabilia items consigned/authenticated by Global Antiques over the course of two weeks, using eBay’s “Search: Items By Seller” feature.

The following analysis looks at 14 days of listing/sales activity on eBay by Auction Depot L.A., with auction end dates between May 5-May 19, limited to the items listed in the category “Entertainment Memorabilia”, and limited to completed auctions only, having ended within that time period.

Within that two week time frame, eBay reports 361 listings ended.

Of the 361 listings that ended in the two week period, 330 sold and 31 (less than 10%) went unsold.

The prices realized for the 330 items sold amounts to over $15,000 (not including shipping or other charges), or an average of about $1,000 per day over the 14-day period. [Read more…]
