      Is there a site out there that shows prices realized from the auction? I am just curious to see how much the items went for that I was really considering bidding on but decided not to get caught up in the buying frenzy.

        I saw an article on cnn yesterday with some items listed, but I cannot find it today. If I come across it I will post it.

          Yep, you can. Go to the Profiles in History site and follow the link on the specific item to the Live Auctioneers site. Once you are there, you can also browse the price sold for the other lots... however, they are divided by day one and day two.

          Items went for far more than I was willing to pay, but you could watch the auction in realtime online, and it was kind of fun to watch.

          Did any Museum members actually buy anything? (I'm looking at you, MegoScott... )

            Dharma Volkswagen van: $47,500

            Daniel Faraday's journal with Jughead notes and reminder about Desmond Hume being his Constant: $27,500

            The Frozen Donkey Wheel: $25,000

            Hurley's Camaro: $24,000

            A copy of the pilot script, signed by J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof: $15,000

            The fail-safe key turned by Desmond Hume: $11,000

            The controversial squirrel baby could have been yours' for a mere $2,750. (Profiles in History)

            Jack's bloody outfit from the final scene: $10,000


            Large piece of the fuselage: $9,000

            Claire's Squirrel Baby: $2,750 (perhaps it didn't go for more due to the Squirrel Baby controversy?)

            The fact that you now can't afford your monthly mortgage payments because you spent so much money on "Lost" auction stuff?: Priceless.

                I'm glad I didn't bother.

                I figured if I could grab one item that was iconic but may be reasonable; I would drop $2,000 on it.

                I was eyeballing possibly Sawyer's Dharma jumpsuit or the framed picture of the Dharma recruits. Sawyer's jumpsuit sold for $6,500 and the picture $7,000. I didn't look around too much but it really didn't look like there was anything that didn't sell for outrageous prices. Well, maybe I'll pick up some Dharma items from the ABC store when they go on clearance.
