Does it say somewhere WTF it sold for? that site is not for the nearsighted. or farshighted.
edit: ah, nm, found it
this model was built by Industrial Light and Magic and sold as Lot 998 in the Christies 40th Anniversary Star Trek auction for $132,000.
I hate when rich people spending insane amounts on silly stuff, and help no one.
Having said that, I am a hypocrite, and if I had the money I would have spent whatever it took to get the Excelsior (Lakota), Enterprise A (Refit ST 1-6), the Enterprise E, Kirk's ST6 captains chair, ST3 Enterprise burning, and a few other things.
Hopefully I would have had enough to donate the same amount of money I spent at the Christies auction in addition to all the other donations I make.
