Okay, so the Christie's Star Trek auction has come and gone, and I didn't make any absentee bids.

Not that it would matter if I had:

Christie's Star Trek Auction Results: Lots 451-541

FYI, the Ressikan Flute was lot number 537; originally estimated to sell for between $800 and $1,200, it sold for $48,000.

Yes, it suffices to say that Christie's has zero geeks on staff who understand the value of kitchy Trek crap to a bunch of nerds with too much idle cash.

Oh well.  Now I don't feel like I missed a chance to own it.
