Rick Sternbach auctions on eBay

Many of you know that Rick Sternbach often auctions off items from his Star Trek days on eBay. You can always find his auctions here. Well, recently Rick has been bringing out some of his old concept sketches, specifically from Voyager, and some are beauties. Make sure you look through his auctions and see if there is anything you like!

A little update........

Well, many of you followed the Battlestar Galactica auction, and know why I haven't posted lately! I will have an update on that auction soon. Not only have I been buried with the aftermath of that auction, and posting on eBay, but I got the flu this past weekend and it has kicked my butt! I haven't been this sick in years. So forgive me if I am not updating the blog as much as I would like.

I have a new post for tomorrow, so stay tuned.

200 Battlestar Galactica Auctions on eBay

At the risk of having to re-title this blog, I am posting another blog about the Battlestar Galactica Auctions. This time to tell you all that there are 200 items on eBay right now that end next Monday, the day after the Live Auction. There are some great props mixed in with some less expensive items for those of you with a more limited budget.

Check out the auctions here, or search the seller name "propworx".

Battlestar Galactica Auction Catalog Available

Well, it isn't Star Trek, but close. Heck, I will tell you that DS9 is my favorite Sci Fi TV show, but I will also tell you that Battlestar Galactica is the best Sci Fi ever on TV. It really is amazing as just about every critic in the country has found out.

As you know, I am the guy Universal chose to handle the Battlestar Galactica Auctions.My new company Propworx, is hosting the auction January 16-18th at the Pasadena Convention Center here in sunny Southern California. And we were fortunate to work with Star Trek Forum member Josef Philip from Austria, who did all the photography and layout. The result of everyone's work is impressive and at 320 pages, one of the best auction catalogs you have ever seen.

You can order it by going here. A measly $ 35 and it is yours!

Dr. Chaotica Costume on ScreenUsed

Screen Used, one of the few prop companies I recommend, often has cool Star Trek items, though sadly, they are often overpriced as Screen Used is only acting as a broker and thus the price is at the mercy of the consignor. One such piece is a beautiful Dr. Chaotica costume from the Captain Proton episodes of Star Trek:Voyager.

The Dr. Chaotica costume has been on and off Screen Used for the past two years and is back again, at a substantially higher price...$ 4,499. This costume was on Screen Used last year for $ 2,700 and I passed on it then. Why this buyer thinks he can get $ 1,700 more in a saturated Star Trek market in a bad economy is beyond me. The costume was on Screenused for months at $ 2,700, which frankly was too high then. The seller here needs a reality check. This is a $ 2,000 costume max in this environment.

As many of you know, I am a huge fan of the whole Captain Proton episodes in Voyager. I own Satan's Robot, the Delany sisters' costumes (both Mailcia and Demonica) and the Lonzak costume which I recently acquired from Dana Hammontree. I would love the Dr. Chaotica, but at this price it is ridiculous. I might pay half that. None the less, it is a beauty.
