Vitani Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was looking forward to seeing the X-Files auction, but after Gillian's talk, I was told that it had been moved to earlier in the day. There had been no announcement for this, so I missed it. Quite peeved. But for those who did go, how was it? Tell me what goodies I missed.

Didn't know, not that I'd have been able to afford anything. Thought the prop display was incredibly poor too unless I missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRichard76 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The X-Files Auction was part of the General Auction they had, at one point I wasn't going to go to the Auction until my Friend who'd been studying the programme or something said that there was X-Files stuff and I thought "Wow. This was supposed to be after the Gillian Anderson talk, so I went along purely for X-Files." If I hadn't of been on such a tight budget I would have bidded more for the X-Files pieces: David Duchovny suit. I Want To Believe Poster. Film Cells. The other X-Files pieces were: Robert Patrick Autograph. William B Davis Autograph. There were general items like cast shots of other shows, etc etc.but it was only X-Files items that literally had me on the edge of my seat. Afterwards I did approach Jason about why it was moved and he told me it was to do with how different Guests had been moved around or something.

Gordon The Gopher Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 How much were the stuff selling for roughly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkso4 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 How much were the stuff selling for roughly? I know the suit sold for 750 (my friend bid up to 650, but someone beat him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyarv Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 i got the film cells. They all had price tags on them, added up to less than i paid lol. The auction was utter pants frankly, total utter pants. Except for the suit, everything was on sale in the stores, and almost certainly for cheaper. I was very much expecting some more unique items that they would have been able to procure due to organising this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexterror Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ok I don't feel so peed off now about missing the X-Files Auction anymore as by the sounds of it i already have most the stuff that was on offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if the poster was the original prop or just a replica? I was told the time was changed to give Gillian more talk time, which is ludicrous seeing as it started ten minutes late and finished five minutes early. i got the film cells.

I was very much expecting some more unique items that they would have been able to procure due to organising this event. The first auction I went to had a lot of good stuff, but ever since then, they have been pretty rubbish, just selling t-shirts, mugs, and a few autographs you can get at the dealers' stalls. Ok I don't feel so peed off now about missing the X-Files Auction anymore as by the sounds of it i already have most the stuff that was on offer! I also feel better. I would have liked to have seen David's suit, but I never would be able to bid on something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamoro Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was hugely disappointed by the XF auction... anything that was on sale, you could easily find anywhere else... with the exception of the suit probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
