roymattblack Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I've got a bit of dirt that fell off the rear tyre of the Batmobile when it was driving in the parade at Beaulieu a few years back...... Yours for only £5,000........ Mind you - it reminds me of the guy who was trying to sell a small bottle of 'Air from Michael Jackson's dressing room - he will have breathed it'...... It was on Ebay about 8-9 years ago. Starting bid was $1000. Not TOO sure if it sold............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamS Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Oh darn - looks like I missed the deadline. Never mind - I've now got my heart set on the original Joe 90 featured gun holster all for a very reasonable £650: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gerry-Anderson-Original-Joe-90-Prop/141327413050?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D22706%26meid%3D7848710978339917604%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D9178%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D141327273943 Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The UFO model had 16 paddles. 16 X £950 =£15,200 If a restored prop model sold for £15,000, then the model should be worth more broken down into its component parts! I'd love to own an original prop, but those prices are just out of reach (and £950 for a small paddle is ludicrous!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_hopkirk Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I wasn't justifying it or otherwise, just pointing it out. As long as it has a true provenience, I venture it will have piqued the interest of a number of movie/tv buffs. The angle they will take, will be the kudos of owning a part of an original prop, Marty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkas Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yes, but only part... If it was a complete prop (if any survived), there might be a point to it, but one of 16 on the model? At that price? That's gouging, pure and simple, and one can only hope that no-one will take the seller up on it. Talk about having more money than sense...
