Profiles in History is auctioning off yet another Proton Pack that was used in Ghostbusters II. The only catch is, this one HASN'T been used in any movies. It is only a few years old.

499. Original hero Proton Pack from Ghostbusters II. (Columbia, 1989) Original Proton Pack constructed fiberglass, metal and other composite materials and built around a custom backpack frame, with electrical wiring and various toggle switches. Attached to the pack with flexible hose is a custom cast hero resin "gun" with ergonomic handgrip and additional toggle switches, which the Ghostbusters pointed at their ghostly prey in the film, then discharged the energy of the pack to capture the targeted demon! This hero pack is extensively wired and illuminates with various oscillating and flashing lights when powered up - truly an impressive prop, both on-screen and in-person. The pack measures approx. 27 in. tall from top to bottom. As the Proton Packs were retained from the first film and modified for use in the second, it is believed that this pack was also used in the first Ghost Busters film. Comes with a certificate of authenticity from Columbia. $12,000 - $15,000.

This Proton Pack was actually made by Sean at GBProject.com, and it is now up for bid with a starting price of $11,500! If this Pack sells, it will be the most money fetched for a Replica Proton Pack ever. I suggest everyone visits the auction, and contacts the company asking for the pack to be removed. How would you feel if you paid $12,000 for a fan made prop?
