Final Battlestar Galactica Auction Set for May

It ain’t over until the auctioneer sings! NBC Universal and Propworx are giving you one more chance to spend your retirement fund on props from Battlestar Galactica. Items in this round include the Visionary “Starbuck” Painting, Admiral Adama’s Desk Chair, and Full Size Viper Mark II Ships!

There will be over 900 items in total going to auction over a three-day period, May 8, 9, and 10 at the Pasadena Convention Center. A public preview will be held on May 7th and the entire auction will be broadcast live over the Internet at www.auctionnetwork.com.

Even if you can’t afford to bid, you should pay a visit to the auction if you’re in the area as it’s an amazing chance to see all of these items up close before they’re spread out all over the world.

The first live auction event for Battlestar Galactica (January 17 and 18, 2009) drew a record number of online bidders at Auction Network, resulting in over 2,000 online bidders from around the world during the two day event. Thousands were raised for charities including United Way and several charities designated by the show’s actors. The original infamous red dress worn by Tricia Helfer’s “Number Six” sold for an astonishing $13,000, which was distributed to several organizations that Helfer designated. Partial proceeds from this second auction will also go to The United Way.
