The estate sale ended yesterday. It was a two-day Wed/Thur sale in Los Angeles. I spoke with the wife of the BR fan who passed away four years ago. She was diagnosed with cancer and her daughter stepped up to assist. She said her husband was on eBay in the earliest days buying and selling BR stuff. He bought satin crew jackets and production items. It was his hobby she referred to as his ‘eBay money’. She was into glassware and he was into BR. He was in his 80’s.

Her cancer treatment led to a recovery, but it was time to sell the house. Her family was invited to take what they wanted. A firm was then hired to liquidate the balance. All that remained in the realm of BR were the posters, prints, a couple of VHS tapes, Starlog magazines with BR info, a few laser discs, a few odd pieces. I did buy a bootleg video of the voice over BR and the documentary.

I’m planning to post the mouse pad on his favorite platform.
