POTC props on ebay


Recommended Posts

I'm posting this here for the rest of you to see.

Boats and I looked over the stuff and guffawed a lot! Good greif, we've

got better stuff in our treasure chests then what's being sold for

mucho bucks! Most of the stuff can be gotten at any craft

store(package of gems, $1.99) worth it's weight! Gee go get some lava

rocks off your barbeque and paint them gold...get some Xmas beads for

color really cheap at the holiday times for a couple of bucks. I could

go on and on about how disgusted I was when seeing what was offered

and the outrageous prices that were being offered by those wanting to

buy them. Geesh, just cuz the movie prop stuff was in a movie doesn't

make it valuable! (Hmmmm, maybe I could get 5 grand for my trunk? NOT!)

And any decent thrift store can hold far more better treasures than

what is offered! Truly a case of Piracy at it's worst.

My suggestion, SAVE YOUR MONEY for more worthwhile things.

Yes I know there are collectors out there that want this stuff, but come on, value is only what one considers it is.

Doesn't mean a way to waste your money.

*ahem* the good film props are still on display at disneyland. all four of the swords, both of the pistols, two costume pieces, the faulty compass, the coin medallion and the sculpture from the bow of one of the ships (can't recall which), are all on display in the disney gallery above the pirates ride. i know because i do my schoolwork there, as silly as that sounds. they may be moved for the opening tomorrow to the el capitan theater in hollywood.

or maybe they'll be sold. but really. what's the point?

Well, if there are fools out there to part their gold for it...Disney will sell it. I do believe Mr. Eisner is the best modern day pirate there is out there. I remember when they were tearing down the Swiss Family Robison Treehouse to make room for the new Tarzan Treehouse, Disney sold each of the plastic leaves for 5 bucks a piece. They sold out.

OK I confess... I plunked down some hard-earned dubloons and bought a lot of 3 coins and 3 'golden nuggets' which were used in the treasure cave scene.

I know, I know, you could buy the coins at Fern Canyon Press for sixty-nine cents each and the 'golden nuggets' are painted lava rock.

But... its a little piece of something that is special to me. Doing the premiere of POTC was one of the biggest kicks I've had in ages and I liked the idea of owning a small piece of something from the film.

My humble coins n' nuggets are going into a display case along with their certificates from Disney and going up on the wall in the computer closet.

And on them dark n' lonely nights, I can stare up at 'em n' wonder if our handsome Johnny Depp might o' sat upon those very coins...

It's sad that so many cash in on on the witless about these treasures.

'Tis fine if you like what yer buyin', but $4000+ for a bloody hat, come on! Nothing's worth that.

Cutthroat Islands' auction was much more reasonable and had some great stuff one could actually wear. Check out our pillaging of that auction at http://www.piratesofthecoast.com - click on the Artifacts link.

And there is a woman who's making duplicates of Sparrows costume - custom. Would like to see the workmanship of that first though- she hasn't posted any real finished product.

And watch out for the sharks on ebay - one must ask who's the better pirate -- them or us?

Ok, I know this is probably late in saying this and I know I don't post all that often BUT as I look at ebay for costuming pieces I find it extremely funny all the POTC costumes that people are selling for outrageous amounts of money! :ph34r: As a costumer it bugs the bejeezus out of me that people don't do their research to get a somewhat decent outfit. Ok, I will step off the soap box now, oh wait, it's a bit too tall too step off, I have to go get my rope and climbing gear.....GRRRRRRR!!!!!!! :lol:

Browse, browse, browse; then:

...As a costumer...

What's this? 'Ello, lass, nice to make your aquaintance. A costumer, you say? And what, exactly, do you costume? Got any samples? Mad Gracie and myself are always on the lookout for resources. Brains to pick, if you will...

Only by great risks can great results be achieved.

Arrrrr!

I agree. I am not a skilled seamstress, but alas, the 9 year old wants to be Capt'n Jack Sparrow for Halloween. I downloaded pics of me subject and am creating my closest, economically accurate costume. These on ebay are not even close. Tis a shame to take something so beautiful and corrupt it for profit. Tis better to take what you can and give nothing back.

Most of my projects are related to Queen Elizabeth's time and very restricted in the group I am in. (Scots) I have also done Victorian (1890's being my favorite time period) and the occasional halloween costume here and there (some of which I will selling on ebay before too long to thin things out) :ph34r: . My b/f is getting a reproduction from POTC for Bucaneer days in Catalina but due to $ I had to leave off a few things so he's now getting an outift "inspired by the movie" I on the otherhand have decided to be completely creative and go the gaudy, outlandish pirate just because I don't get to do it very often. I am going to try to post pictures of the partially done costume which needs to be done by next weekend. So there you have it. Although if you have a question I can sure try to answer it but I am sure there are a lot of people on this board who know a lot more than I do about this particular time period.

P.S. It's funny how many people love 99 cents Simlicity Patterns on ebay. :ph34r: And I did e-mail the woman who is selling the "almost exact" replicas of the costumes and she is making the jackets out of upholstery fabric (I'm sure it's cheap polyester) I sure wouldn't want to be wearing it on a hot day. :blink:
