In just two days, the vampire movie franchise sold "Twilight" memorabilia for a total of $757,000. This is a clear proof that the Twi-hard fans are not instinct and they have very high purchasing power. Take note the highest seller which is Bella Swan's engagement ring was auctioned for a hefty $16,800 price.
Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan in "Twilight" can be rightful enough to be emotional with the outcome of the auction. The chess set the Bella and on camera-partner Edward Cullen that sold for $13,200, and his graduation cap display taken at $10,200 are among the highest sold bids.
Over 1,000 bidders worldwide particularly from more than 30 countries joined in the Auction organized at TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood. They really give value to Edward Cullen's personal journal, Jacob Black's important wedding invitation and Bella Cullen's symbolic newborn vampire outfit that were also auctioned in those days.
The COO of the Prop Store, Brandon Alinger, did not quite expect the magnitude of the outcome like many surprised spectators.Over the weekend, it is overwhelming to see people from different countries arriving to participate in the event who are willing to spend a lot. The turnout has prompted him to confirm that the "Twilight" movie is not just followed by moviegoers locally but also by patrons from around the world.
It has certainly become a phenomenon - and what's amazing is, fans won't hesitate to pay the high price - just to own a piece of the successful film. He can never be so proud to be Lionsgate partner in the venture, as per E-Online,
We cannot help but wonder if these great spenders would spend the same for the holiday presents they would bestow to loved ones. If so, they really have deep pockets and it is proven once more that people would not hesitate to spend that much when fascinated by a quality film that influences their lives, according to The Wrap.
