00:00The prices in our world are based on comps, comparables, so, you know, the highest price that we've achieved at auction for Star Wars prop is a model of an X-Wing fighter from the first film that went for $1.9 million as a hammer price.
00:12So the estimate on the Darth Vader lightsaber has been set at $1 to $3 million, so maybe about $750,000 to $2.2 million. And really what it's going to sell for is anybody's guess, and we just don't know, and that's the interesting thing about auctions.
00:26The price is set by the market activity, it's set by the bidders, you know, maybe it'll go for just a couple of bids, maybe it'll be in the low $1 million.
00:33It could even exceed the high estimate, you know, we don't know. We know there's a lot of interest, we know Star Wars fans and collectors are very excited to see it.
00:40What that will translate to as far as bids, we'll see in September.
