76th week of IAW auctions (auctions ending July 26th)
While this is the 76th week of auctions, It is titled Week 84 to be consistent with the Star Trek Auctions Archive.
First I should mention that I accidentally deleted Week 83. I wrote it Thursday, so if you didn't read it yesterday, well, sorry! No going back now and I am DEFINITELY not redoing it!
There were 75 auctions this week. A nice, simple amount that is easy to handle. Only 3 items sold for over $ 1,000. and there were NO costumes!
The Props:
I think the top prop, though there were some good ones, was the Enterprise Daniel's Temporal Device a which went for a strong $ 1,809. I have one of these props, but it was used in "Regeneration" and doesn't have the case. I love the prop though. Even though it is rubber, they are amazingly detailed and well painted.
Now I did like the TNG Starfleet Medical Away Team Case which sold for a quite reasonable $ 1,176 because it actually had the Medical Tricorder that goes in the slot on the side. The previous ones IAW has sold didn't have the Tricorder. Now, it might be a dummy, but still, it makes this one the best version yet.
Star Trek: Enterprise Shran's Ushaan at $ 1,025 was a good deal as this one was metal. The fact it has "blood" on it is really cool.
The TNG Starfleet Type IIIb Phaser rifle at $ 901 was a rubber version, but this was a great price for a really nice one. I love this version and think it is the best looking of the Phaser Rifles.
The Enterprise Bridge Data Module at $ 838 went to Forum member Chrissie from Australia and its cool because of all the individual modules.
The Seven of Nine Borg Implant went for a healthy $ 827. I am not surprised it went this high as Seven is so popular.
The Andorian Carbine and Holster went for $ 720, which is reasonable, though the Holster doesn't go with the Carbine. It goes with the pistol version.
The Non-Cabal Suliban Energy Pistol was an absolute STEAL at $ 375 and gets my Best Buy of the Week. I wish I had bid on this baby.

74th week of IAW auctions (auctions ending July 9th)
While this is the 74th week of auctions, It is titled Week 81 to be consistent with the Star Trek Auctions Archive. There were no auctions for Week 80 and there will be none for week 82 according to Burt's system.
Just got back from Vancouver and San Diego. Lovely cities both. The weather was beautiful and I got to have some fun.
This was a huge week with 182 items listed. Colin talked about takings ome time off to write descriptions for the items going to Vegas, but this certainly wasn't the week!
The Commander Riker Two Piece Uniform went for a VERY healthy $ 5,250. This is Captain's territory and I would have thought this would go in the $ 4,000 range. Still, he is a popular character and this will hold it's value I think.
The Ben Sisko Variant Captain's Uniform went for $ 3,501 and was pretty reasonable at that price. It had the very rare vest despite not having a jacket, so was like we saw in "In the Pale Moonlight".
The Captain Tucker Starfleet Uniform at $ 1,825 was a great deal. Tripp is VERY popular and this was a steal for sure. This had rank pips too and so that makes it even more interesting.
The Guinan Costume at $ 1,725 was a great deal too. Guinan costumes haven't been as common as you might think, and she is certainly a popular and memorable character, so I think this was a good buy.
At $ 1,276, forum member John Nichols got a very nice deal on the Voyager Seska Uniform. This is pretty rare, since Seska wasn't in a Starfleet uniform for long. But I think it is an important costume in Voyager lore.
The Enterprise Admiral Forrest Arctic Gear Costume at $ 1,225 was an interesting costume, but a bit more than I would like to pay for a costume that wasn't very important.
The Harry Kim Uniform lot at $ 1,152 was a steal! Good deals like this are to be had these days and you just need to look for them.
The T'Pol Pilot Away Team Jacket at $ 1,125 was a very good deal. T'Pol items are expensive and this is as close to a uniform as one might get. Sorry I missed this one!
My Aussie friend Chrissy won the Operations Gold Starfleet Uniform for $ 1,025. These are really nice and display well. The material actually looks good in person, even though the actor's hated them!
The First Contact Style Data Stunt Uniform went for $ 1,009, which I think is a very good deal. It is nice to be able to get a costume that is identified with a character and at the same price you would pay for a background costume.
Romulan Senator Robes finally came back down to Earth (sort to speak), and sold for $ 889.
As far as props go:
At $ 2,524 the Enterprise E Master System's Display was overpriced as it wasn't actually used on a LCARS. Looks like an extra that was never used.
My buddy Alex from Hong Kong won the Generations Enterprise B Media Kit at $ 1,604, which I think was a bit high. The last won of these went to Grant from Canada and when delivered was totally broken. This appears to be the same one, and I hope it isn't.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, my buddy Willie won the Starfleet Type III Phaser Rifle at $ 1,325, which is actually the EVA rifle used in First Contact. Molded rubber, but pretty sharp, this was a bit higher than previous ones, but fairly priced none the less.
The Starfleet Yard LCARS Panel Lot at $ 910 was a pretty good deal. So many of these go for crazy prices. But I think this was a smart buy.

Best Costume of the Week: The Commander Riker Two Piece Uniform at $ 5,250.
Best Prop of the Week: The Starfleet Type III Phaser Rifle at $ 1,325 was VERY cool.Best Buy of the week: The Harry Kim Uniform lot at $ 1,152 was a steal!
