Fellow hobbyist Alex Tutusaus has this week launched a new service for television and movie prop collectors called “PROPbay”. The online service and website was created to offer collectors an opportunity to share photos and information about pieces in their collection, as well as interact with one another to discuss trading, buying, and selling such material. The site is dedicated to original production material (not replicas).
The website can be found at www.PROPbay.com:
Below is a message about the site from Alex:
