Disney finally caught on

[PurpleDragon]

Looks like the execs up at Disney have finally realized that there is money to be made in the old sets and attraction pieces from the parks. The following site is called Disneyauctions.com and is mentioned in the latest Disney Insider magazine.

http://auctions.images.go.com/Images/I-Catalog/disneyauctions/categories/cat_themePark.html

The items are listed as "Directly form the Walt Disney Company". I guess they figured, why should private collectors make all the money from these auctions. :lol:


On the one side I am glad Disney has finally decided to do this, however it might get outta hand fairly quickly. Especially if the execs decide to close an attraction before its time, simply so they can strip the pieces and sell them to the highest bidder. I doubt that would happen, but you never can tell.

They got some pretty cool stuff listed!!

I have seen that site on ebay for ages. I dont think they advertise it much maybe thats why you have just found it. I find they charge too much and the shipping to the UK is outragious. Mousesurplus are cheaper all round.

I just found it cause it is the top story on the Disney Insider magazine. So looks like they are pushing it a little more now, to possibly give these other guys a bit of competition.

Yeah its been around for at least a year or more. I just wish they sold better artifacts. They usually isnt that much good stuff on there IMO,

They now have a space mountain ride vehicle. As well as a couple of skyway buckets. And some props from Mr.Toads wild ride. So they have some good stuff, but your right, not much.

I'm wondering if they are pushing the publicity of this Official Disney auction in response to the large group of private sellers that have recently popped up on the map.

Thanks for posting the link.. I had never seen that seller before. I like the idea of buying the Disneyland marquee letters... but could someone explain to me the point of buying just one?? You'd think you'd have to have all the letters for it to work!

The Space Mountain rockets from DL have been on sale for almost a year now.

I think anyone who looking at ebay for disney stuff would already know about this. I don't know if its a nice thing they are advertising it, since this might mean more people will be bidding.

But are these the same guys that sold the monorail? Or was that private?

No, the guy who sold the monorail I believe was a private seller.

word to the wise, if you spend 2000 bones on a SM vehicle and save money by picking it up................ invest 20 more bones on a tarp to cover it up. i will chase you!!!! :lol:

Hey I hear ya. They have a Mr.Toads Wild Ride car on Disney Surplus. I tried to get my sister to go in on it with me. Man I would pop a go cart engine in it and then I would be in heaven, my very own working Mr.Toad car.:sohappy:

It's a magical handrail

 

[AndyP]

I can't believe anyone would bid $194 for a hand rail from Tom Sawyer's island!

everymom would. :lol: :animwink: :lookaroun

lmao :lol:

 

[Dayma]

Its hard to find actually artifacts from the parks there are really only two sellers and one is Disney. This is why people end up paying 200$ for a railing.
