Bones Auctioned Off Some Of The Series’ Best Props

As Milled pointed out, quite a few of the items that were available were pretty dang affordable, as far as owning a piece of TV history goes. They highlighted props such as Brennan’s watch for $21.99, Booth’s bowtie from his tuxedo for $11.69, and Sweets’ green jacket for $21.99. That didn’t account for shipping or fees but still. Fans didn’t need thousands or even hundreds of dollars to bring home a piece of “Bones.”

Certain fans who purchased surprisingly cheap items from the auction have revealed what they got over the years. “Screenbid is still selling ‘Bones’ props, so I got these screen used ‘bones’ for only $30!” Reddit user igor6541 revealed on the “Bones” subreddit in 2021. Another Reddit user, findscarlet, also revealed that they were able to secure a placemat when a conversation about this auction popped up a couple of years ago:

“I have the placemat Angela drew on for Zach that they pull out of the box of his favorite things in the final Gormogon episode. I actually just bought it a couple of years ago so keep checking the prop auction/sale sites, they still have random things pop up for sale.”

This sort of auction wasn’t unique to this show by any means. Studios and networks regularly try to make some money by selling off items from popular shows or movies. It’s better than just hucking this stuff in the garbage behind the lot. In 2020, just as the show was nearing its end, Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” held a similar auction through Prop Store. In 2021, the cars from “Mad Max: Fury Road” also went up for auction. Granted, those certainly cost more than $21. But it is good for fans to keep in mind that owning a piece of their favorite show may not be out of reach.

“Bones” is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Hulu.
