but as I am learning it is really hard finding people who are selling their's. It's just that I have become a true mistie since I heard of tape trading and I now have over 100 episodes. I don't care what prop it is, I just want to pop in an episode and say "I have that". Well enough whining. Anybody have suggestions?

Keep an eye on E-Bay. Sometimes they'll have pieces of the set up for auction. I bought a piece of the Deep 13 set a few months ago, certified and all, for about 30 bucks. That's the best place to find stuff like that.

I've picked up a number of items off of Ebay over the years, coffee cups, Moore statues, Lunchbox,.... Great reproductions of the bots can be had at www.joecrow.com I got a Tom Servo a few years ago and, with a little paint touch-up, he looks perfect! You can also get Crow and Gypsy.
I ain't to big on actual props, myself. But I will admit to buying a "chunk" for a couple bucks from Best Brains a few years ago. I have no idea what it's a "chunk" of, but it came with authentification.
I think that the only props I would be interested in would be the Invention Exchanges.
I want that Chocolate Bunny Guillotine for my kitchen....I'd pull it out all the time and show it to friends.....I'd have it as a table's centerpiece....

Most of the Invention Exchanges were auctioned off on E-Bay a LOOONNGGG time ago. The list of what was auctioned off used to be on MST3Kinfo.com. There was some great stuff including Cambot and some other major props.

I think "chunks" were part of the MST movie set? If I remember correctly, if you bought the movie from the BBI they would include a "Chunk" with the order.

I thought the chunks were actually part of the shows' set. Oh well, same difference.

Yeah, that could be right, maybe the "Chunks" they sent with the movie came from the movie. The others from the the regular sets?
As I recall, the Brains auctioned pieces of the Deep 13 set that were basically styrofoam chunks along with a certificate. I am pretty sure they were from the show and not the movie.
* in around 1997, BBI sold their own copies of the movie
* for a time, they included chunks of the styrofoam walls of Deep 13 if you included an additional $2 with your 'movie' order.
* I don't know if THEY (The Chunks) actually came from the movie or from the old Deep 13 set or from both (or if they even built a new Deep 13 set for the film). I just always associated it with the movie since it was sold with the movie.
* The auction part I'm not familiar with, but they apparently sold off more of the Deep 13 "Chunks" at auction.
Okay, does that untangle the web we weaved? LOL.
