With the COVID-19 pandemic wiping out many a person’s savings, people with goods to sell are taking to the internet to unload their excess possessions for cash. Some are simply pawning off ordinary items like game consoles and TVs, but collectors of movie memorabilia are taking a completely different approach. A record number of participants have signed up for an item sell-off from Prop Store, a movie collectibles shop.

And now, more than 850 classic movie props are up for sale. No, these aren’t replicas or manufactured goods — these are the real deal. For just $25 thousand you can pick up Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber from the original Star Wars. Or if you’re a TV fan, you can purchase Walter White’s hazmat suit from Breaking Bad for the low, low price of just six grand. A small price to pay for honest-to-goodness film magic. Some Hollywood props are so realistic that even law enforcement gets spooked.
