A big thank you to all of you that helped testing it during the several stages this place has had for the last year before this launch!

Site Update:

We Want to Hear You! - Help Us improve PROPbay!

We want to build this place at your taste!

How would you improve PROPbay's experience?

We want to hear you!

Wether if its increase or reduce images size, add enhancements to your listings, or even change colors, feel free to use the SUGGESTIONS box in the right part of your browser to send ideas and improvements for PROPbay.


You will have an amount of VOTES to cast on your and other's ideas. Once spent, you'll recover them once your idea or suggestion takes place and completes, so you can keep improving the site at your taste (and others) for the time being!

So, We Want to Hear You!

Click on suggestions now and get heard!

We've just created another filter to help you browsing our users' collections: 'One of a Kind'.

For all those pieces that are well know for being unique and no backups or copies were made for the production, and specially for those Items that can not fit our 'Screen matched' category due to damage taken by age or simply they were there on screen but can't be matched into any particular scene, we offer you the chance to list it as "One of a Kind" Item.

Please be aware that the user (and its reputation) is the sole responsible for listing an item as "One of a Kind", as this is an UNMODERATED Filter. Hence, should we discover any other pieces that look like copies or backups (always 'original' speaking), we may invite you to remove such Filter in order to keep the Items database fair for everyone.

We hope you enjoy this new tool and we invite you to re-review and Edit your uploaded items in case you feel you're missing activating this filter for one or more of your pieces, or simply browsing whichever Items are already marked... ONE OF A KIND!

New 'For Sale' Tab and Filter + Block Comments + Some more improvements!

To pump up a bit the Market section at PROPbay.com we have just added a new tab on the index homepage so visitors can see at a glance the last 15 items for sale in our Marketplace.

Additionally our search engine now features a filter so you can seek 'For Sale' items for only those that match your criteria: whether you are just interested in any Wardrobe to specific movie props from James and the Giant Peach, you can play with all the settings to suit your needs!

Now you can also block any comments to be posted about the Items you add to our database. Just click the checkbox that reads 'Do NOT allow comments about this Item' when uploading an Item or EDIT any already uploaded Item you want to block comments for and no one will say a word about it!

Also, when adding new items, if you type the name of that actor, actress or director correctly, it will autolink to their IMDB page! See some examples here, here or here!

We also increased max. image size of your pictures to 1280x1024 and upgraded the image viewer to latest version.

We have also added a new Path to each page so you know in a second where are you located and fixed some bugs.

We're still working hard on the site so please stand by and our apologies if something crashes or does not work like it should in the meantime!

Keep collections coming!

Cheers.

Thanks for the cOmments guys!

Hope to see more collections soon!

This week PROPbay is already one month old and growing very quickly!

To commemorate this landmark we have partnered with The Prop Store who are kindly donating a GIFT VOUCHER of 100GBP/150USD to a lucky PROPbay user.

Here is what you have to do to be in with a chance of winning this great prize:

Upload at least one item to PROPbay that is accompanied with an original Prop Store COA. You can enter as many items as you like the more listings that have a picture of the accompaning Prop Store COA, the higher the chances to win the prize! You don't even need to have purchased the item from Prop Store yourself - it just needs a picture of that COA!

We will then select a winner* at random with odds increased as per above basis and as long as they meet the above criteria, they will win the voucher!

The deadline for the competition is December 16th, (12:00pm GMT+1). A day when PROPbay be 2 months old!

Good Luck everyone!

* PROPbay.com and Prop Store employees not eligible for the prize.
