How far would you go just to prove you’re the most hardcore Ghostbusters fan? Specifically, how much money would you shell out just to show your love for the iconic film franchise?
As it turns out, US$229,633.99 would suffice. That is the exact amount (converted from £186,960) someone paid for an actual used Ghost Trap prop set that was used in the 1984 movie on a recent memorabilia auction on Prop Store.

Exorbitant amounts of money for iconic tools from the original movies. In the advent of the third official Ghostbusters movie set to take the world by storm in 2020, featuring half of the original iconic quartet as well, this would certainly make perfect sense.
Marion has a serious RPG addiction. Sometimes it bleeds into real life; he forgets to sleep because he thinks he has a Witcher’s body clock. Forgive him in advance if he suddenly blurts out terms such as “Mind Flayer” and “Magic Missile”, because never once does he stop thinking about his next Dungeons & Dragons game.
