Aloha psimonl!

Star Wars fan, yes. Lotta money...especially 40 grand, no. Man that is insane! As Vincent pointed out, there are two sites that sell works equal if not BETTER than what that dude is selling. Sure, the seller is selling an *authentic* Saber, but cripes...40G? It doesn't even light up :p

[quote="Ray.Hood"]That is an insane amount of money for a movie prop. If it worked, well....that's another story. ]True, but to put it in a bit of perspective, I offer the following news story from Reuters yesterday...

A handwritten song lyric used by John Lennon and found on the floor of a television studio in 1967 is set to fetch 500,000-600,000 pounds ($870,000-$1.04 million) at an auction Thursday, organizers said. The manuscript is part of a pop memorabilia sale featuring clothes, paintings and musical instruments from Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and others. The "All You Need Is Love" manuscript was used by Lennon during a television performance by the Beatles and could be seen on film footage dropping to the floor after the song was performed, said Ted Owen, director of auctioneers Cooper Owen. A girl working for the BBC at the time retrieved the lyric from beneath Lennon's music stand. She has provided a letter of authenticity for Thursday's sale.

Looks like it went for a 100,000?!

I'd be happier with a $200 replica though...

It does look very authentic though. Nah, I wouldn't bet on it. A so-called 'hero' phaser from Star Trek TOS, that's another story... :D

Say, why didn't Sal make the R2 a Star Wars commemorative? You know, with a D2 blade. :D
