Battlestar Galactica Live Auction

As the Sci Fi Channel's original series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA draws to a close, NBC Universal Television, DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group has teamed with Propworx to offer thousands of one-of-a-kind props, set pieces and costumes to the public in a series of live and online auctions, beginning on January 16, 2009 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California. Some of the more spectacular items that will be available to bid on include full size ships, Admiral William Adama's desk, a Cylon Raider and six to 12 costumes from each major character including Viper flight suits and Caprica Six's red dress. A portion of the auction's proceeds will benefit United Way.

The auctions will kick off with a preview day on Friday, January 16 at 10 a.m. The preview day will also feature a series of live panel discussions with the creative team that developed all the fantastic props, costumes and set pieces for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. The two day live auction event will take place Saturday January 17 and Sunday January 18 and will feature hundreds of items from the first three seasons of the show. The live auction will also be available to view online at www.battlestarprops.com so that those unable to make it to Pasadena will have a chance to bid electronically. On Tuesday, January 20, 200 items will be offered on eBay for those that were unable to participate in the live auctions over the weekend.

Then, as previously announced, additional items will be made available for auction each week on eBay in conjunction with the airing of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and will feature items that appeared in that particular episode. The first of these auctions will take place on Friday, January 23, starting at 9:00 a.m. (ET), and will conclude the following Friday, January 30, starting at 9:00 p.m. (ET).
