Let’s all just pretend that some other crazy LOST nerds haven’t put together an auction recap on some fansite. Sweet. I didn’t waste an hour spreadsheeting the auction totals then.
My initial guess was that the Swan Station hatch door would be the most sought after item when I first read about the auction. Unfortunately I have more financial responsibility than I have finances, but I wanted to see how moist other nerds would get for some prop that the Man in Black touched. Out of the nearly 1200 items, I picked out the top 30 (only items over $5,000). Since 3 of them are cars and would obviously bring the most money, I’m listening them separately.
