There’s never been a better time to be a fan with deep pockets, a lot of room to display things, and the burning desire to personally own pieces of Hollywood history. The latest Propstore auction is putting an iconic Star Wars weapon up for sale, and though it’s not quite as well-known as Darth Vader’s lightsaber (which recently sold for over $3 million), it’s definitely a top-tier item: Boba Fett’s EE-3 Carbine Blaster, wielded by the late Jeremy Bulloch on-screen in 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back.
This bounty is estimated to go for $462,000-$924,000, especially since, according to Propstore, it is “believed to be the only original hero screen-used blaster” of its kind in existence.

The extensive list also includes Tobey Maguire’s symbiote suit (with lenses) from 2007’s Spider-Man 3, though you must provide your own dance moves ($99,000-$198,000); and, a sentimental favorite, the map dubloon clutched by tweenage hero Mikey (Sean Astin) throughout 1985’s The Goonies ($52,800-$105,600).
