On October 5th Christies has opened the door to (invite only) to selected props from the films. BUT if you have £ or $ burning a hole in your pocket check christies online. I myself will wait for the replica versions !
They will be selling props from Dr No to Skyfall.

    Well, there's still some time to become a millionaire and buy that Aston Martin.. ;)

    P.s. that model moonraker is pretty cool...

    I'd rather not have to fork out £1500 though.

    My problem is, I could, but my girlfriend of 6 years might wonder when a ring will ever surface if I insist on spending all my money on Bond memorabilia.

    That Thunderball poster is being sold for $30,000 on another site!! My advice would be to invest in the 60's Bond posters if your budget can stretch that far. I have plenty of Brosnan original posters but sadly they don't seem to be worth that much. Maybe it has to do with how many were printed and the fact that the 60's ones are iconic?

    I agree. I've recently started buying original posters and first edition books where I can find them. I haven't got any Connery originals yet as they are upwards of £750 each, I've got a few Moore's that set me back between £200-350 each. There's a YOLT in the cinema store near here for £750. I'd be more tempted to fork out for that than some of the auction goods.

    I really wish I could've got my hands on a Connery Bond or a Lazenby but those, as you rightly say, fetch anything above a grand. There's quite a few YOLT posters but the cheapest I've seen is for £704. I guess I'm fortunate to have TSWLM British quad and MR sets, plus LALD lobby cards. I was quite surpised to see FYEO British quad fetching 1k in today's market. I'm certainly not interested in the Christies Auction.

    I do find it strange that Craig's posters are actually worth more than Brosnan's. I don't know whether you've noticed that?

    I have to ask: how much are first edition books going for? I bought one, not knowing it was a first edition, at a second-hand bookstore for 7 euro's years ago, and have been tempted to sell it since I found out it might be worth a lot :)

    It doesn't have a dustcover I'm afraid :(

    Anyone here put a bid in yet on anything? ;) Seeing as Babs is bidding on the shorts? It is a sure bet she will win this lot! :))
