How cool is this? MGM is selling off their Stargate prop department piece by piece... I guess after they've shut down and cancelled productions for Stargate SG-1 after 10 seasons and Atlantis for 5 seasons they've reasoned that these props belong to the loyal fans. All auctions start from 0.99 cents but many of them end up at a few hundred dollars for a hunk of painted artificial metal or wood artifacts. But hey - its as close as you can get to the real thing - you can relive famous Stargate SG-1/Atlantis scenes. As I write this the Stargate SG-1 Props: Goauld Ribbon Device is at USD$690 or AUD$1,018.45.... with a bit under 5 days to go. I'm guessing it will fetch at least USD$2,000+? C'mon, this device is iconic in the Stargate universe... It has been with the franchise since the original Stargate movie (I think). And they say that's its the only one being offered in the eBay auctions. they say its a "Metallic Working Ribbon Device. The device is quite heavy as it’s metal that’s painted silver. It has a switch on the base that when turned on allows the device to be activated by a wireless remote. Using the remote the light on the bottom glows on and won’t turn off till the button is pushed again." If I had some spare cash lying around I would definitely buy this prop...

Previous Stargate auctions have been: Tretonin Vials and injector from from Stronghold SG-1 Season 9 (sold for USD$202.50 or AUD$300) - which I can't believe because they are just a bunch of useless prop bottles. An Ori Soldier helmet from SG-1 fetched USD$305.00 or AUD$450. From Stargate Atlantis, they offered Gerrak's Prior Staff prop (from the Fourth Horseman) which fetched US $787.78 or AUD$1,162. A Goa’uld Pain Stick from Point of View, Ex Deus Machina and Company of Thieves. The stick has Goa'uld carvings up and down each side with a three pronged end. The stick fetched USD$420.00 or AUD$619.93. A whole lot of money for bits of painted metal and wood. haha...
