    So, this was the very machine owned by Roddenberry, but NOT the actual machine seen in ST:IV? Or is it both?

    Judging from the color of the plastic casing, I'd say Roddenberry was a smoker.

    @burlybax: Could be, but I remember those systems being just that ugly cream color.

    @Selannia: You're both correct! Congratulations!

    That beige color was particularly susceptible to smokey discoloration, IIRC.

    Isn't there something cheaper for the Trekkie/Trekker on a budget?

    You know, like say a used kleenex with Gene's snot on it? A ticket stub? A credit card bill?

    @ManchuCandidate: There was a few items at the Trek auction, but even there most props and stuff went for a grand or more.

    I actually know some of the guys who bought the filming models who dropped tens of thousands of dollars or more on JUST the one off ship of the week models!

    "It has an estimated sale price of $800-$1200."

    Yeah, not in this universe. If it goes for less than $5000 I'd be shocked.

    @Lassus: I was thinking the same thing. Either this auction house severely underestimates the fervor of many old school Trekkies, or they're intentionally announcing a very lowball estimate so as to attract as many bidders as possible.
