'Breaking Bad' Props To Go Up For Auction After Show's End
Much to the dismay of fans, "Breaking Bad" is nearing its end. But that doesn't mean you have to let the show go altogether; Sony Pictures is going to be auctioning off props from the AMC drama beginning on September 29.
Variety reports that ScreenBid.com will be hosting the auction, and 250 props will be up for grabs.
Not surprisingly, the items don't come cheap. Walt's bookbag from when he was a high school chemistry teacher, for instance, has a starting bid of $1,200.
To purchase the briefs that he wore on the first episode of the show, fans will have to fork over at least $250.
Surprisingly, you can buy a whole car—the Jeep that Skyler White drives through New Mexico—beginning at just $1,000. Granted, it "leaks oil and has some paint bubbling," according to ScreenBid.com, but it "runs and drives."
