The Swan Station's Apple-II Plus and other Lost gadgets on the auction block this month

We don't want to spoil anything, but ABC's Lost is over and done with -- sorry, but it's really time to move on. Still can't let go? Apologize to your pocketbook and book a ticket to Santa Monica for the end of August for the official show auction. Literally hundreds of outfits and props are being sold off, including numerous gadgets from its six-year-run. Naomi's Iridium 9500 satellite phone with a then-futuristic UI? Suggested starting price is between $200 and $300. Brainwashing LED goggles? Also up for grabs -- although not functioning. Our favorite item has to be the Swan Station computer used to type the Numbers every 108 minutes, an Apple-II Plus system with an Apple III monitor, apparently re-used later for scenes in the Pearl Station. That'll set you back at least $1,000, but we'd be surprised if that price didn't skyrocket. We've gone ahead and made a gallery of the gadgets, but feel free to hit up the source if you want to see what else is going on sale. Not in the auction: the identity of those who shot at the canoe in Season 5's "The Little Prince." Seriously, would it have been so hard to tie that in somewhere? Sigh.

This is exactly why America is in a s**thole. We buy 30 year old computers.

[Sean Connery Posted Jul 25th 2010 9:39PM]

@Sea Urchin

Apple and brainwashing seem to go hand-in-hand!

I am making a joke, keep your cool.

[ChrisAre Posted Jul 25th 2010 10:34PM]

@Sea Urchin

Go spend a week in most countries south of the Equator and I guarantee you won't call America a shithole anymore.

[Khalid Shahin Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:10PM]

Ugh, at first I thought this was some sort of auction for lost gadgets that never hit the market. What a disappointment.

[Michael Scott Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:46PM]

@Khalid Shahin
I'm right with ya man. I might as well go buy some paper.

[Joseph9307 Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:23PM]

Also up for grabs is a bottle of my tears, from that last amazing last episode.

Shit happened.


:(

[ongadget Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:37PM]

@Joseph9307 and the bidding battle on ebay begins

[maythetechbewithyou Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:30PM]

I love lost, but I don't have the money for this as I am saving up for the Blu Ray Series Set that comes out later this year.

[mikmik111 Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:34PM]

I'm going to buy all of these and I will make a Lost spin off... Just me. I am going to be like Desmond and every episode I will just click a button every 108 minutes.

[engadgetcomexcludeengadget Posted Jul 26th 2010 2:07AM]

@mikmik111 You should also buy stuff from the set of 24 and combine the 2 shows. Jack has to stop terrorists while going back to the island and pressing the button every 108 minutes. Shit would get intense...

[angelnilo06 Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:34PM]

Yawn.

[MEH Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:41PM]

We look back 20 or 30 years ago and laugh at these "gadgets" Imagine 20 to 30 years from now the gadgets that will exist. I CANT WAIT!

[RockTripod Posted Jul 26th 2010 9:22AM]

@MEH But we'll be old and won't understand them. Ever watch Gramps try to use an iPhone? That will be us trying to use the ThoughPhone. We'll accidentally mind-tweet people about how our prune juice keeps us regular.

[FetusPuncher13 Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:44PM]

So if I fly there and get the prop C4 how the f&*k am I supposed to fly back????

[foxh8er Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:50PM]

@FetusPuncher13 You don't.

Kamikazee anyone?

[FetusPuncher13 Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:53PM]

@foxh8er

no shit

[DrScope Posted Jul 25th 2010 8:47PM]

God life is good without TV just what I want when I want it.
I will never buy a TV again!!

[superklye Posted Jul 26th 2010 2:22AM]

What?

[AckbarsFist Posted Jul 25th 2010 9:00PM]

Well funny how LOST season 1-5 just showed up in my Netflix Instant Queue after reading this post.

[ChrisAre Posted Jul 25th 2010 10:36PM]

@AckbarsFist

I literally just did the same thing. Engadget is getting paid so much for posting this.

[MoonWalkerCTE Posted Jul 25th 2010 9:01PM]

/want that lost dharma computer from the swan station

[AlaskanHandyman Posted Jul 25th 2010 9:17PM]

I have an apple two plus that I would gladly trade for an Xbox 360...

[hiphopsded Posted Jul 25th 2010 11:10PM]

@AlaskanHandyman I have a 360 Id gladly trade for an Apple II plus

[scl23enN4m3 Posted Jul 26th 2010 2:12AM]

@hiphopsded

Will this be the first trade done through an Engadget post?

[oproski Posted Jul 25th 2010 10:06PM]

WTF the bomb comes with a radiation apron? It's a real bomb?

[werty1432k Posted Jul 25th 2010 10:09PM]

I downloaded all the PDF's from each season, I want all of those things!!

[Yankee Posted Jul 25th 2010 11:13PM]

I love it when we can use the phrase "then futuristic" when talking about 2007. Awesome! :D

[Mike V Posted Jul 25th 2010 11:35PM]

I remember before they were shooting this they posted on some Mac forums (Deal Mac in particular) looking for this stuff.

I remember they were asking for it for free or for very cheap.

Seems a bit rich to be selling it for profit now?

[Yankee Posted Jul 26th 2010 12:21AM]

I crashed your bloody plane, brother!

[Marty Cohen Posted Jul 26th 2010 7:37AM]

Is Lapidus for sale?

[0android0 Posted Jul 30th 2010 10:45AM]

I have two of these in my basesment.

Plus, the Philadelphia Zoo is having a fundraiser for its polar bear right now... they want to remodel the area to look like the set of Lost, and then charge people $4 to take three shots at him with a starter pistol.

Hey, zoos need money too, you know.
