Two of Tom Riddle's prop diaries used in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets have sold on eBay in a private auction for over $4,000 combined.
An "Original Tom Marvolo Riddle Diary"
received an opening bid of $1,700 but went to the winner (and second bidder) for $2,125. A "special effects" edition, which featured tubes that squirt black ink through the cover, was purchased for $1,900 using eBay's Buy it Now feature, which caused the auction to close early.
The two books were used during various filming of the second Potter movie in 2002.

Well as long as the people think that they are worth it, then cool for them! It is a little fun to have a bit of movie history.

IM sorry but i think thats alot of money for what they are. Fair enough they are important to the storyline & daniel radcliffe touched them, but its only the diaries... the gryffindor sword would have been better.
just my opinion...

No matter how much i like HP i will NEVER pay that amount of money for a prop off the set of HP movies. Maybe something bigger like robes, or the firebolt, or something but that's a MAYBE. Wonder who's the the person who would pay $4,000 for something they're never gonna use....
