okay, i guess this is one of the questions you can't simply answer with yes or no but more a matter of your own opinion, but i hope i get some good feedback anyway.
when is it a good thing to buy screen-used props?
i know that answering this question depends on what prop from which film it is, and some props can be an investment of money while others are nothing more than a souvenir, but where is the border?
the reason i'm asking: some weeks ago i found the screen-used outfit worn by Til Schweiger in the movie Far Cry (i actually dont know if the movie was successful enough outside of Germany for you to know it :lol) on ebay, consisting of a pair of cargo shorts and an aloha-shirt, for...i think it was 350€. you could easily get the same clothes (or at least something that is almost the same) for much less than 50€.
so my question is, besides hardcore-fans of the movie and the videogame series perhaps, would anyone really considering buying it just because it was screen-used?
