Lenic described the auction: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nSome of the furniture key to Stargate Universe and Atlantis, that stuff will go fairly quickly. There\u2019s monitors that were built into the set, people saw them for years. There\u2019s a lot of military clothing. Basically the majority of the stuff being sold is stuff that we\u2019ve used in the three shows over the 14 years that isn\u2019t specific to any episode.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>VIP Auctions, out of Chicago, are running the auction and will be selling the Stargate itself, either in pieces or as a whole.
