Not sure if this belongs here or in the Café but here’s the link:http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1834314676

Any Trekkers here have a spare $200,000 lying around?

Actually it belongs in my house. Man that would be a pimp chair to have. If each Doper lent me 10 bucks I could get it.

So how about it? :smiley:

Wow. I so want that. I saw it and got that gut-wrenching “gotta have it” feeling. As you say World Eater, that would be a pimp chair to have.

We dopers could come up with the money and then ship the chair to a different doper’s home every month or something.

Hehe I’m envisioning that Simpsons with the Radioactive man #1 comic. How about we all throw in some dough and hook up Cecil?

Brb lemme go to the “Any millionaire dopers?” thread.

If that’s the real chair (and it seems to be), then what’s in the Smithsonian? I thought that the original set from Star Trek was there. In any case, the winner of that auction gets to be the überdork. (Not that I wouldn’t love to have the chair, but it’d be waaay cheaper to build a copy than to buy the original!)

Sorry, my money’s all tied up in quatloos and gold-pressed latinum.

Check out some of the other stuff that’s on the block. There’s a memo that Nimoy wrote to TPTB about the development of Spock’s character that I wouldn’t mind owning, and other production memos, in addition to the newer items: scripts, photos, movie props. There’s a wicked-looking Klingon knife from one of the movies going for $2,000.

You could own the black dress Julie Newmar wore in “Friday’s Child.” You could own the silver top “Shahnah” wore in “The Gamesters of Triskelion.” You could own the tight pants Frank Gorshin wore in “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.” You could own one of Shatner’s contracts. You could own the grand piano on which the “Star Trek” theme was composed (it has real ivory keys). You could own one of the olive and royal blue jumpsuits worn in “What Are Little Girls Made Of?”. You could own one of the blue duty uniforms worn by Marina Sirtis. You could own one of Dr. Crusher’s hyposprays. You could own a plastic miniature of a fragment of a destroyed starship as used in “The Best of Both Worlds II”.

Well anyway I’m impressed. :smiley:
