Bid on Locke's wheelchair

There are a lot of props from the show up for auction. There are items you can hold in your hand, such as an Apollo candy bar, young Ben Linus’ glasses, and Walt’s Spanish comic book, and there are items you can climb into, such as Locke’s wheelchair, the Dharma van, and Hurley’s Camaro.

Take a look at the auction preview. There’s an amazing amount of items for sale — it looks as if it might be almost every significant prop in the show.

You can bid online, by phone, or in person. Tickets for the in-person event, which is going to be in a hangar at the Santa Monica airport, go on sale on Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. You can order a catalog by mail or look at it free online. More information.
