Profiles in History will be auctioning off a screen used stunt pack from Ghostbusters II on eBay this winter. The pack, which was made from squishy foam, was only used in a few scenes in the movie. It is in pretty bad condition, but is still valued at $8000 - $10,000. Here is what the company has to say:

"198. Proton Pack from Ghostbusters II. (Columbia, 1989) Original Proton Pack constructed of black foam and foam rubber built around a metal backpack frame, with electrical wiring and various toggle switches throughout to give the illusion of a working device. Attached to the pack with flexible hose is a custom cast foam rubber "pistol" 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 offending demon! This lightweight pack was most likely used for stunt sequences. The pack measures approx. 27 in. tall from top to bottom. The Proton Packs used by the Ghostbusters are the key props from both the first and second films, and this is an excellent example. Comes with a certificate of authenticity from Columbia. $8,000 - $10,000"
