Did you know that a number of actual props used in notable movies are for sale at eBay? A lot of them are charity auctions, with the proceeds going to worthy causes. Some of them, though, are just for sale by companies which manage to acquire movie props, have them authenticated, and sell them on eBay. If you've got some spare cash you blow, you can pick from a number of props from some of your favorite (?!?) films. For instance:

• A wicker wine jug from The Wild Bunch.
  This really is one of my favorite movies. I actually think it would be kinda neat to own this. I'm not willing to actually spend money on it, but I do think it's kinda neat.


• An issue of The Daily Bugle from Spider-Man.
  Yep, kinda cool. It might be neat to have this framed.


• A pack of Red Apples from Pulp Fiction.
  I gotta admit, I'd like to have this, too, if I knew for sure that this pack had been seen on screen.


• A costume from Braveheart
  It wouldn't do for me to have this. I'd want to wear it on weekends and run around the neighborhood claiming all of my neighbors' lawns for Scotland.


• Cherry Darling's peg leg from Grindhouse.
  Pretty neat. But I admit, I'd rather have the leg that was also a gun.


• Freddy Kruger's glove as seen in A Nightmare On Elm Street 5.
  If I were a horror movie buff, or a big fan of the Nightmare On Elm Street series, or a weirdo, I'd probably like this.


• Tom Cruise's Yankees cap from War of the Worlds.
  Still reeking with Scientology mojo. Wear it and protect yourself from body thetans!


• A fake severed finger from Gigli.
  And if you ever find yourself watching Gigli, you can use this fake severed finger to gouge your eyes out to make the experience more bearable.

You know, a lot of people still think that the internet is mostly a waste of time and that eBay is a just a place to buy useless junk.

Tell that to michaeladams1970, the current high bidder for the severed finger from Gigli. There's just no better use of $29.99.
