Last night I watched a show about the Star Trek auction held at Christie's late last year. I've always been something of a neo-Trekkie. I never really liked the original series (did you know it was cancelled after 3 seasons?). But, I have seen ever single Next Generation episode (my college roommates and I all watched) and I even own the Star Trek Technical Manual. (And, no, I've not been able to bring myself to attend a convention).
But I was very interested in this auction, and had I heard of it, I would have attended. I would have even bid on the model of the TNG Enterprise. I could part with a couple thousand dollars for it. But, the final bid seriously floored me. Do you have any idea how much that went for? $500,000!! You think my kids would be mad at me if I spent their college tuition on that?
