Looking for Nightmare before Christmas props (and stuff)

I am not really a collector, but after browsing for some time I finally decided I want something from NBC in the lower 4 digit $/€ range maximum.

The question is, wait for the right item or get what I can get now (actually mayor's mouth/eyes) after I missed a tombstone at propstore I had nearly decided to get.

So will stuff get more expensive and rare or will I be able to find something (slightly iconic) affordable in the future? (a Lock, Shock or Barrel mask for example would be great but other stuff might fit too)

Right now I am looking at:
Propstore.com obviously
propmasters.net (UK)
thepropgallery.com (UK)
hollywoodhistoryonline.com
screenused.com
icollector.com
plus ebay and right now the "Profilies in History Hollywood Auction"

Any of those not trustworthy (will of course be cautious with the auction sites) or any other locations I might look?

Woah, first I've heard of thepropgallery.com. Interesting!

Here's some more:
The Movie Prop Warehouse
Disney, Olympic Pins items in Theme Park Connection store on eBay! (you may have already seen this)
The Golden Closet | The Golden Closet News
Movie Props and Memorabilia from Movie Bits.co.uk

Propstore.com will be the best one to watch, they get NBC a lot. I bet they'll list a bunch at Christmas time, like a few ebay sellers may.

The owner is member here and there was some bad press about some wrong Yoda head from him lately but it seems he had sold it in his best knowledge and immedeatly refunded the money.

Awesome! I was hoping to learn more about that site.

I do swear though, like last year or the year before they listed Christmas movie themed props on Christmas or that week of. Or I might be confusing with them with a Christmas themed auction that may have been on icollector? Premiere props maybe??? Ugh. I'll post back if they do it this year

Hello

Just thought I'd make a post to clarify that it was not us at The Prop Gallery that sold the above mentioned Yoda head, we have never sold one.

So with no other NBC props popping up (or being instantly bought by someone called Paulie) I finally got this:

And had Wayne from Creative Laser Solutions make me a custom frame (which of course looks better in person).

We'll be getting this guy up on our Facebook page later today, too.
