As noted in a previous article, “Notable Studio Auctions: Transformers (Premiere Props)“, Premiere Props has managed studio auctions for the film, Transformers, under the eBay User ID premiereprops7.
Two of the pieces of the most interest ended tonight…
Allspark Cube
The Allspark Cube (Item #200126643272) realized a price of $20,100.00.
Interesting, before the close of the auction, it was much higher than that, in the $30,000s. Looking at the Bid Retractions lists is somewhat disheartening:
To the credit of Premiere Props, it appears that they were fairly diligent in vetting and managing these bids. It’s just an unfortunate reality that faces legitimate, serious hobbyists that use eBay as a venue to acquire high end and popular original props.
Bumblebee ’77 Chevy Camaro
The Bumblebee ’77 Chevy Camaro (Item # 200126643267) realized a price of $40,100.01.
In contrast to the Allspark cube, this auctions only had one bid retraction.
