12 Most Expensive Movie Props Ever Sold

For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the movie memorabilia market can be an exciting yet expensive one. History tells us that as soon as an item appears in front of a camera, a few extra digits can be added to the price tag. But for those who have the money, prices upwards of several thousand dollars represent mere pocket change. For the chance to own items like an original Ghostbusters Proton Pack or Indiana Jones' personal whip, they're willing to fork out as much as it takes. For some, it's the item itself that draws the buyer, but for others, it's an investment. As will be demonstrated in this list, the very finest of props can appreciate in value by a startling amount over time. The likes of rarity, uniqueness, authenticity, and basic coolness can all factor into a prop's sale price, and what follow are some of the most iconic items to ever appear on-screen. You won't find any background items from Fifty Shades Of Grey here, but the likes of time-travelling DMCs and little black dresses might make an appearance.
