Buffy props to be auctioned. The news agency Reuters reports that 20th Century Props is liquidating its inventory and putting them up for auction. As a result, many props from Buffy are up for grabs. If you look through the auction house catalogue, you'll find tables, chairs, lamps, clocks, barstools, couches, chairs, a jukebox, a pool table, figurines and an oversized cheeseburger from the show.

There's a bucket from Serenity as well.

A very informative article about the closure can be found on The New York Times website.

Of course all the items are nondescript and have no interesting characteristics whatsoever. And many of them are damaged.

Whatever happened to Mr Pointy? Various magic books... Magic box merchandise.

After looking at the first 250 lots, I'm definitely tempted to kit out a small mansion with eccentric pan-Asian decor.

On the Buffy front, lot 615 - a neon Hotel Flamingo clock - looks like good fun. Can't for the life of me think when it was used in the series, though.

iwearthecheese, when Buffy went off the air in 2003, FOX held a pretty massive online eBay auction for a few weeks. That's where all of the interesting items (stuff that probably couldn't be used again in other productions) went. They sold the scythe, stakes, potions, bloody clothing... all for crazy amounts of money!

I'd give Buffy props free of charge.

Didn't Joss take home the "scythe"?

If he didn't, then he doesn't have any ego at all. :-)

At least it's not the bucket from Angel.

I think there were 3 scythes made, and Joss kept one.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe the flamingo clock was up at Willy's Place?

My question is: who owned #85 (the ugly coffee/end table set)? Would it have been Anya in season seven?

I was thinking Xander's basement.

There's some Buffian statuary, clocks and lamps that I quite like. And there's some non-Buffy pieces - lovely art deco and craftsman furniture and whatnot - desks, buffets and wardrobes, etc. If I had any extra cash (cue long bitter sarcastic laugh), I'd prolly bid on a few things.

But the break-up of this props house is just unbelievably sad. It makes me feel very much:

"More than ever the things of experience are falling away..."

Grrrrr.

Regardless of the Whedon connection, there are some lovely items there. Those Philco televisions are amazing -- they each look a bit like a computer CPU with a monitor on top. And gosh, I want some of the statuary. Not gonna happen though.
