\"\"<\/a>Online entertainment memorabilia dealer, ScreenUsed<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, held their first auction today with i Collector<\/em><\/strong><\/a> that hammered $201,475.00 !<\/p>\n

The online auction consisted of 359 lots from various film properties which represented varying price points for collectors. While some lots sold much higher than their pre auction estimates, including lots #261, a screen used Rocketeer helmet from Disney’s, “The Rocketeer<\/strong><\/span>“, Estimates : 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, sold for ($25,000.00 + $4,500.00 bp ( 18% buyers premium)) x 1 = 2$9,500.00, & lot #327,\u00a0 “Blue Harvest” clapperboard<\/strong> <\/span>used during filming of Return of the Jedi location filming, <\/em>Estimates : $6,000.00 – $8,000.00, sold for ($22,500 + $4,050.00 bp) x 1 = $26,550.00, many others sold within the range of the estimates which was great for bidders.<\/p>\n

Numbers* for the auction are as follows:<\/p>\n

The hammer price for the lots sold was $201,475 with the total rising to $237,743.50 including the 18% buyers premium added to each lot sold.<\/p>\n

The auction consisted of 359 lots and the majority of those lots, 219, or 61%, sold with a $920 per lot hammer average. Very good numbers for this first time effort by ScreenUsed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Initially I had a problem with i Collector<\/em><\/strong><\/a> signing in to the auction so I contacted customer support and the tech discovered it was on my end with JAVA<\/em> not being updated. Once I took care of that, signing in and participating in the auction was a breeze. Unfortunately I did not win anything, but maybe that’s a good thing ;).<\/p>\n

It should be exciting to see what ScreenUsed<\/em> has up their sleeves for their next auction, so start saving your money ;).<\/p>\n
