Mad Props (All 97,532 of Them)
The 40-year-old Hollywood institution 20th Century Props announced its closure earlier this summer, and the liquidation of its 110,000 square-foot warehouse begins today at 9 a.m. PDT. For those of you not in the neighborhood, you can take a slideshow tour at the LAT or browse the thousands of lots being sold online here, including a giant Colonel Sanders sign, a spaceship from The Twilight Zone, a life-size zebra and an alien from Men in Black. That's entertainment. Or at least it was. Au revoir! [20th Century Props]

Some of the items up for auction are weird (like the Colonel Sanders sign), but several items will probably bring in a chunk of change (and I'm not just talking about the various items that have graced the sets of Hannah Montana, although anything that's been breathed upon by Miley is worth its weight in gold, so long as the little kiddies know how to enter their parents' credit card info properly into the online form). If I had infinite financial resources, the amount of furniture I'd buy would be enough to furnish an entire house...and a crypt (is it creepy that I want to buy the BtVS coffin to be buried in?).
