    Do they take us for fools?! They have replicators in Star Trek so these props and costumes are worthless!

    Unrelated, how does one search for, say, “prosthetic Klingon boobs” without it ending up on one’s search history?

      Tragically, I’m pretty sure that particular piece of memorabilia was included in a previous auction. I’m not prepared to go out of my way to find proof, though.

    I wish there was more physical props but since they went full programmable matter there’s only clothing

      I have no idea how much it costs to make one of these props, but if the estimated values is between $5,000 - $10,000 - this doesn’t really sound like an auction as in “my grandmother died and I need to liquidate everything”, rather “hey, let’s make a quick buck and fleece fans of the show of their disposable income”. (eyeroll)

        It’s an auction. The price is what people are willing to pay. Current bids on many items are still only $100.
