Apparently, there will be an auction featuring various props from the original _Star Trek_ series on November 9, with the two featured items being the “type 2” (pistol-shaped) phaser and communicator used by Captain Kirk, each with what are either current bids or minimums of $100,000, according to [an article at Space.com](https://www.space.com/william-shatner-star-trek-auction-juliens-bid-long-and-prosper). (You can get the link to the auction site from there.)
