Yet another landmark since we opened doors 2 weeks ago!

The First 100 Items have now been listed in our Movie Prop Category!

We're very excited of this success we wanted to share it with you!

Keep Collections coming!

Thanks for your support!

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.

Art Andrews

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.

Come and try our new Smart AutoComplete!

Now all our "movie name" fields feature an smart AutoComplete function that will present you movie names as you type them. Not only that but will sort them in the way you type the name, but still displaying the rest of movie names containing that keyword! So, yes! it will also search in the whole movie title!

So say you want to see which movies were made in 1986, just type 1986 in the movie name field and you'll get the list!

Or say you want to see items only from Bond movies! just type bond et voilà! You'll get the list of all Bond movies to choose from!


Additionally, now our Item Details view features an IMDB shortcut through its logo which, if clicked, will take you to that movie's page.

We also have added the date the Item was uploaded to PROPbay and the amount of visits it has had!

Hope you all find these features cool, we're very proud of this baby!

Cheers!

Back in Halloween we spent a day with Tim Lawes and his crew, while touring their facilities and slurping our drool one time after another...

It's so exciting to tour a place like the Prop Store, imho worth 1000 times more than Madamme Thussaud's or such! A TRUE historic and cinematic experience

They say one pic is worth 1,000 words, so make it happen!
(our apologies for the quality of certain pics! :P)
