You too can own a Stargate for $100,000!

On September 25-26, oodles of Stargate props will be auctioned off. The biggest catch is the Stargate from SG-1 and Universe, which is going for $80,000-$100,000. Why buy a house when you can mortgage a Stargate?

Even if the Stargate is beyond your price range, you can always buy a $8,000-$10,000 animatronic Asgard puppet to entertain guests and door-to-door salesmen. And who wouldn't want to sport a Serpent Guard helmet this Thanksgiving? Your nana will pinch your cheek until it's ruddy with puncture wounds!

Indeed! ;-)

I wish they’d stop selling off cool stuff like this. There won’t be any left by the time I win the lottery.

You need one of these for your backyard ping.

If it works I might buy one. But the odds of me ending up on a planet full of Obamas should also be considered.

What do I need with a second stargate?

When you win the lottery purchase a real star gate, then you can go back in time and buy the mock-up!

Hey, KD, someone could make some fanfilms with one of these things and a Renaissance Fair

I’d rather have been able to get the original Tom Servo and Crowe puppets from the MST3K auction, but by the time I learned of the sale -— too late.

Spoiler alert!!! Of note, one of the 4 stargates being sold is currently in Vancouver being used for SGU season 2... hmmm? SGU being cancelled? See the Youtube video of the auction book:

I hope SGU hasn't been cancelled! The trailer for this second season looks AWESOME! :-)
