WELL,YOU'VE FINALLY CAUGHT A CLUE AND DECIDED TO STOP WASTING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON REPLICAS,RECASTS,AND RESCULPTS.CONGRATULATIONS,NOW YOU'RE A REAL PROP COLLECTOR,SO LET ME HELP YOU UP FROM THE GUTTER!

   THOUGH THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROPS,THE MAIN CATAGORIES ARE FILM USED AND SCREEN USED.

   FILM USED PROPS ARE USED IN RELEASED MOVIES.RELEASED IS ANY FORUM OTHER THAN TELEVISION.THIS INCLUDES THEATER,AND STRAIGHT TO VIDEO,DVD,ETC.

   SCREEN USED PROPS,DESPITE THE OVER AND WRONG USAGE AS A KEYWORD,ARE PROPS USED IN TV SHOWS AND BROADCAST MOVIES.

   A NICE EXAMPLE OF THE DIFFERENCE IS THE X-FILES.PROPS USED ON THE TV SHOW ARE SCREEN USED,AND PROPS FROM THE MOVIE ARE FILM USED.

   THOUGH THERE ARE A VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE,TV PROPS RARELY ARE MORE DESIREABLE OR FETCH MORE THAN FILM PROPS.AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.COMPARE THAT TO IF THE MILENIUM FALCON WERE EVER SOLD THOUGH.

   THESE FEW HIGHLIGHTS THOUGH DO NOT MAKE UP FOR THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF OTHER COMPARISONS.STEPPING UP TO FILM USED IS INDEED JUST THAT!

   ONE VALID REASON IS THAT TV SHOWS ARE MADE EVERY WEEK FOR YEARS SO THERE ARE LOTS OF PROPS AND LOTS OF DUPLICATES.A FILM IS A ONE SHOT DEAL AND MANY FILM PROPS ARE ONE OF A KIND!

   LUCKY FOR YOU,GOTHICATROCITY IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY SELLER.OFFERING PROPS FROM ALL FORUMS AND USE!EVEN THE STAGE!

   IN CLOSING,THE MOST I HAVE EVER SOLD A PROP FOR WAS $11,000.00.IT WAS A TV PROP!ON THE FLIP SIDE,THE MOST I HAVE EVER PAID WAS $11,000.00 AND THAT IS A FILM PROP.
