Hollywood auction

Bring your wallet. The big one. There's an auction next weekend in Beverly Hills. A hoverboard from Back to the Future Part 2 is set to go for a mere $2000-$3000 (but, sadly, it doesn't actually hover). A blaster from Forbidden Planet is expected to go for upwards of $30,000 (and no, it doesn't blast, which seems like a defect at that price). The car from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is fully operational, on the other hand. It probably doesn't fly, but for a minimum bid of a million bucks, it ought to at least get you cruising down Hollywood Boulevard.
