Uh, Jason, I think those are the starting bids.
Some of them are still totally over valued though. I mean, there are so many needlessly expensive lots and there can't really be that many fans who are wealthy enough to throw $500 at a Flotter doll. You'd think anyone with loads of money would spend it on something snazzy, like one of the Enterprises. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a bunch of crap left over at the end that wouldn't sell.

Looking closely - look at the shadows on the building - the one on the extreme left doesn't look like a constitution - It's either a Galaxy or an Ambassador.

MASSIVE Score! I've never seen the STIII wrecked Connie and the E-B / Lakota in such detail. Ditto with a lot of the props, including how wierd the NX-01's original command chair looks behind the E-E's consoles, and how the E-E's ancillary command consoles for Troi and Riker can also be used as a flotation device.

Er, the Borg Cube won't be one of those though.
Yeah, I know but still...
Some of their value estimates are silly- that lame-ass plastic visor Data used when dealing cards for example- $500!? I doubt it.
Vorlon- incredible pics! You sir, rock. Those Lakota close-ups really illustrate just how much larger the Excelsior class was intended to be- check out it's "B" deck- at the "official" size, that's got to be semi-submerged in the saucer's hull to work- ,aking those portholes about head-level. No where is this worse than in the scene with Chekov and Scotty looking out the damaged secondary hull of Enterprise B.

Very cool! Great to see more pics of the Ent-B/Lakota, the damaged Enterprise and the starfleet fighter. Are these all the items that were on display or were there any more?

What is this? pic What happened to the E's impulse engines? And what's that blue thing on her neck? I always assumed it was the rear torpedo launcher, but with that paintjob it looks like some sort of auxiliary impulse drive. (Makes sense since the main impulse drive is obviously missing. )

You know there's a chance (very small one), that I might be going to the public viewing either today or tomorrow.

I might be able to take pictures but there's some problems:
a. If I take pictures, it most likely be with a conventional camera not a digital one. If that's the case, I won't know how to get them on here.
b. I don't if they even allow cameras!
c. I might be able to take camera phone pics, but I'll have to find out how to transfer them to my computer. Also, they might be such high quality images.

Probably fell off, or they didn't bother making the actual drivey bits because it wouldn't be seen. But more likely fell or melted off in the boom.

It is the photon exhaust port. The pressure gasses from the launch tubes (lame--it SHOULD be a railgun) are blown out there to vent them & to provide counterforce against a torp launch.
