WTS: Bond Props (a good grouping).

fanofbondfanofbond Posts: 35MI6 Agent
It pains me to no end to sell these items but unforseen circumstances forces their sale.....an instant Bond collection for the advanced collector.

I wish to only sell as a "grouping"

The lot includes (all from "Tomorrow Never Dies") ALL are HERO items:

1) Bond's Walther P99 (rubber stunt).
2) Bond's Q Phone (key pad as seen on screen...NOT one of the PR phones!).
3) 4 9mm shell casings (cartidge blanks).
4) BMW license plate from Bond's 750IL
6) final shooting script.

Also included is $500+ dollars worth of autographed pictures of Bond and Q (llewelyn) holding the Q phone. Obtained by Bondcollectibles.de

The prop gun is one of 3 that I had. It was completely "vetted" by Christie's through Bapty's. The ones I had (including the one here) are the ONLY 5 rubber guns that have been confirmed as being used in the film. The Bond Q phone is a HERO screen seen model. They made many that were used for PR purposes and their screen keypads are different than the few they made for the BMW driving scene.

I have been talking with the 2 major prop dealers - one says $12-15K as a grouping and the other is saying $15-$18K as a group. More if they were split up and sent to a major auction like Christie's. I have recently turned down $9,000.00 for the lot. I am at $10,990.00 for the above items. I think this is more than reasonable and fair.

I have references of folks that know me of course. I have been collecting movie props since 1990. I have sold quite a few items through major auction houses. Shoot me a PM with questions and pics. No "tire kickers" please.

Thank you.

    * and yes, I am aware that folks in the UK might have a bit of a struggle on importing the rubber gun.

    in reply to the thread title, because the majority of bond fans don't have the vast expandable income needed in order to fund the exclusive hobby of collecting screen used film props. 'why settle for a repro' sounded just a tad arrogant imo.

    good luck selling ya items.

    cheers fan of bond, thoughtful of you to take my opinion on board.

    wish i could purchase your items, but its out of my league i'm afraid. i'm sure you'll find a buyer and wish you the best of luck getting a sale.

    The "Grouping" has been broken up...one of my UK mates made a heartfelt plea! LoL

    So...we have the gun, phone and misc. (script, fired blanks and photos). I shall reduce the price on these items accordingly. Shoot me a PM to discuss or to make an offer.

    Cheers.
