About Prop Store
Prop Store sells original movie props and costumes and related memorabilia, regularly hosting live and online auctions. Over 7,500 items are also available for sale at fixed price on propstore.com. Registration is now open at propstore.com. Online proxy bids can be submitted now.

Operating since 1998, Prop Store founder Stephen Lane’s love for movies led him to begin hunting for the same props and costumes that were used to create his favourite films. He found that he could not only provide collectors with access to their most coveted pieces, but also establish archival standards for a new, pop-culture hybrid of fine art and memorabilia collecting – prop art. Prop Store handles prop disposal, sale, archive and auction services to production companies and distributors as well as fixed price item sale on its website.
