A Piece of Geek History

You'll never believe this!

Remember that auction I was telling you about a few posts ago? No? Here's the link to that post.

I had mentioned that the original Luke Skywalker lightsaber prop, the first lightsaber ever seen by the movie-going public, sold at auction recently, and was expecting to fetch upwards of $80,000. Well, to say it fetched "upwards" of that amount is an understatement. It fetched... are you ready for this?

$200,600!!!!!

That price includes the hefty 18% buyer's premium added to the $170,000 sell price!
Holy shnikeys!
