Although collectors tend to be a bit critical of Premiere Props, their auctions and their merchandise, I always find myself both highly intrigued and somewhat anxious when it comes to their events. Perhaps it’s just the style of movie they most often associate with that tickles my fancy, but they always have something of significant interest. Not to mention I feel they handle their auctions well and always have someone in attendance worth meeting.
Still, with a small history of disappointed collectors, I can’t dismiss any of the negative claims. What I can do however, is let it be known that my history with Premiere Props has been anything but negative. Having purchased several pieces from them myself, I can honestly says I’ve been pleased with their products and customer service.
I can also tell you that their upcoming auction, the Sci Fi Movie Prop & Costume Auction, appears to be packed full of fantastic props and costumes that any horror or Sci-Fi movie fan can appreciate.
