Seeking source for an auctions multivid

[brainwane]

If I were going to make a multisource vid focusing on auctions in scifi and fantasy (film, TV, comics, music videos, video games, etc.), what sources would I use?

I can think of:

• Get Out
  
• Janelle Monáe's "Many Moons"
  
• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's episode "In The Cards"

I'd welcome other suggestions!

Some SFF examples mentioned include The Addams Family movie, Hellboy II, Angel, Person of Interest, Daredevil, Batman: the Animated Series, and more!

Doesn't Leverage 3x12 The King George Job also have an auction?

I definitely think there's multiple in Leverage! Possibly The Zanzibar Marketplace Job too.

Oh, yeah! I think it does, with the egg on the video and the audience bidding from the separate room.

For Person of Interest, there are two auction episodes, off the top of my head. Both are very much "real world" looking, nothing that, on a visual level, or really, in terms of the specific episode, has a sci-fi/fantasy context. :D That said, the series Person of Interest, is very much sci-fi, wrapped in police procedural.

2x14 “One Percent” - Our hero, John Reese, is at a very high-end charity auction where he gets into a tense, high-value bidding war with the episode's victim of the week over a set of (I think?)Albert Einstein's personal letters.

3x07 "The Perfect Mark" - Corrupt police officers rope an antiques dealer into bidding on a rare autographed baseball. This is a more working-class/day trader looking auction.

I believe there's a bit of auction footage at the end of The Hobbit (Jackson version).

It's mentioned in the tropes article but the Angel episode has a LOT of good auction fantasy material!

The comicbook Monstress starts with the main character getting sold at an auction.

I know I've come across auctions in Marvel comics, too, but I'm having a hard time remembering specific ones!
