Price wars: The 20 most expensive movie props ever sold
Anthony Daniels is selling C-3PO's head, which has us thinking about the crazy money spent on other Hollywood memorabilia, from The Wizard Of Oz to James Bond
Film Features Entertainment, Culture
Sometimes, C-3PO just doesn’t understand human behavior. Anthony Daniels certainly does, however. The actor—a.k.a. the man inside the C-3PO costume, who also voices the beloved Star Wars character—knows that someone out there will pay big money to own a C-3PO head from his first big-screen adventure. That’s right, Daniels is putting the piece of Hollywood history up for auction in November, along with other Star Wars items from his personal collection. It’s all part of Propstore’s mega-event, which will see 1,800-plus pieces of film and television memorabilia go under the hammer. Daniels’ C-3PO head is estimated to fetch more than $1 million. And that got us thinking about other movie memorabilia that people have paid insane amounts to own. Here, in ascending order are the top-sellers. (Note: It’s tough in some cases to assess actual amounts due to buyer’s premiums and U.S./U.K. exchange rates).

You forgot about the cane from Citizen Kane
Did that go for more than the cuckoo’s nest from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?
They paid me to take the coffee mug from Heartbeeps.
I’m suprised Keanu Reeves wasn’t in the top spot.
The Bullitt Mustang:https://bullitt.mecum.com/
Sold for over $3.7 million.
I have to think there are a bunch of cars that should be on this list, maybe left off due to a lack of publicized values.
I can think of at least two bat-related cars right off the top of my head.
Okay that boggles my mind. I adore Audrey Hepburn and her outfits and I would probably sacrifice a small town for thst Breakfast at Tiffanys hat. But I’m sorry the dress from My Fair Lady sold for more then the Little Black Dress? I think the Ascot outfit is terrible and even Audrey can’t make it work, while the LBD is heavenly. Standards have fallen!
Can I get Milla Jovovich’s bandage outfit?
I wanted to bid on the Matt Damon puppet from Team America.https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/347/lot/113158
$6.4 million and the car never even appeared on screen?On the other hand, custom-built Aston Martin.
