(Before you ask, none of the winning bids were from me. I was content to simply purchase the over 300 page full color catalog that detailed what was up for auction.)
The two day event sold off all of the show's famed props, for a total of over $1.8 million. This exceeded early expectations.
The Lost auction ensured that the show's greatest materials would live on in the public domain. The biggest item of the weekend was the famed DHARMA van. At the Lost auction, a fan had to pay $47,500 to get the new island leader's old wheels. Other items went for slightly more modest prices.
The other Lost auction items that went for over $20,000 were Daniel Faraday's journal, the Lighthouse wheel, a DHARMA Jeep, and the Frozen Donkey Wheel. The journal that declares Desmond as Daniel's constant went for $27,500, as did Jacob's Lighthouse wheel - complete with the candidate spying mirrors that Jack broke. The Frozen Donkey Wheel and its time travel powers were bought for $25,000, while the DHARMA jeep got $20,000.
Several other items worth over $10,000 were bought in the Lost auction. Season 6 production art was sold for $16,000, and $10,000 was paid for the bloody shirt Jack wore in the final island moments. The Swan Station computer and hatch door got $16,000 each, while the pilot script yielded $15,000. Yet the script for the finale only got a $7,500 bid.
