...I'm guessing this is the answer as to whether or not ATC is getting a sequel.

Not necessarily; it's not uncommon for studios to liquidate most of the B-list props and wardrobe from a production.

Most movies normally get rid of everything after production ends as far as I know. This way the artist will have to be hired again to rebuild everything.
Some key items might be saved by the studio.
A company will pay the studio for the stuff they were just going to throw in the trash anyways. The studio makes some money back and the company that purchases the stuff, put the items up on auction sites. You will be surprised at how much some people are willing to pay for props or costumes from a movie or TV show they like.

It looks like most of the items were snatched up with buy it now options. A few item still up for auction.
I noticed no hero packs or traps.

Exactly. Sony will for the time being be holding onto the full Proton Packs, PKE, Trap, Ghost Grenades, Chipper and Ecto-1 - as noted above, the stuff that's been sold are items that aren't necessary to have in a sequel if it gets greenlit - the prototype Proton Gun and Containment Unit looked cool and would've cost a bit to assemble, but the former wouldn't be required in the hypothetical sequel's storyline, and if we do see this team and their HQ again, I bet you the Containment Unit will have gone through an upgrade, knowing Holtzmann.

Amazed at how low some of the complete wardrobes went for, you'd be hard pressed to buy all the items individually of the shelf for not much less and they wouldn't be screen used! My partner is gutted she missed out on the Holtzmann dance sequence costume.
Anyone wanna club together and buy the MK1 proton pack? I'll take it Mondays, thursdays and Saturdays

I bought the paperwork, but damn the costumes were tempting to get.

Lucky! And congrats on beating me to it, as a graphic designer for film I love that kind of stuff the most.

The GFOP books were super tempting but I waited too long.

Really sucks we didn't see this sooner. It is amazing how little money some of the stuff went for.
I bought Rowan's book.

Yup would've been great to have had a chance, wouldn't be surprised if most of it now ends up on Propstore or similar and sold for crazy prices.
Was following an auction for a bulk lot of Ray Harryhausen artwork recently then found all the items on propstore for thousands a piece

Don't you go getting any crazy ideas now.

Have it on good account that the Faraday cages went to safe homes and will not be showing up on any other auction sites.

Hope more comes up for sale. Would really like to get a bid in on some of it.

Hopefully one (or both) of the cage owners would be willing to document the props so that we might get a better understanding of their construction.

Sadly, given how protective people are of screen-used props, I doubt we'll be seeing these any time soon...

I grabbed the "If you see something say something" flyers. I really wanted a GFoP book but missed those and I just don’t have room to display costumes. Can’t believe how cheap some of the stuff was.
I know a few of the proton pack parts and other gizmo’s went to good homes

Did anyone by chance archive the auction pages and/or make a record of what everything sold for before it was removed from the Screenbid website? I would be very interested in all of that if you were willing to share it, whether publicly or privately. Thanks!

I think I saved some of the images into my collection for future reference (mostly the equipment props), but not the listing pages. Was there anything specific you were after?

Honestly, ideally, I would love to have all of the images, web pages, and final sale prices, so whatever images you're willing to share from what you have, it would be much appreciated.

I'll see what I can dig up from my archive.
