The actual insert hand Depp wore in the 1990 hit “Edward Scissorhands” just sold at auction for an incredible $ 81,250 – almost twice the price auction experts projected the item would sell for.
It was in early May when Propstore – an auction company famous for Hawking millions of dollars worth of movie Collectibles – announced a sale that would begin June 21. Among the items were Depp’s sharp digits.
At the time of the sale’s announcement, when Johnny and Amber Heard were locked in a trial, it was projected the ‘Scissorhands’ would sell for somewhere between $ 30k- $ 50k.
However, our auction sources say the interest in the trial, specifically Depp’s Victoryhelped to drive the price up – leading to Tuesday’s live auction, where they ultimately went for $ 81,250 !!!
It’s not the only hot Depp item on the market. TMZ broke the story, Johnny’s motorcycle from ‘Cry Baby’ is also set to hit the auction block soon … starting bid for that one comes in at $ 250,000.
