Christie’s underestimates Trekkies, pulls $7.1 million
The Borg model, which had intricate black latticework, was expected to sell for $1,500 at most, but one bidder decided it was worth $96,000. The captain’s chair, which belonged to the show’s Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, was expected to bring in $9,000, less than a fifth of its actual price: $52,000.
There are worse things to spend one’s money on, I suppose. It’s not really my cup of tea, but if you’re a rich Star Trek fan, why not?
The only thing I know about Star Trek is that there are giant hamsters named Tribbles… I wonder if they auctioned any of those guys off…
