The brown cloak worn by Obi Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars trilogy — and then forgotten for years in a warehouse — was among 400 costumes sold earlier this month at an auction of movie and television costumes.
It sold for NT$3,439,131 to an anonymous telephone bidder.
The grey coat worn by Gary Oldman as Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, was sold for NT$993,559.
Some of the more eye-catching costumes — including James Bond's dinner jacket from Thunderball — were modeled by staff at the auction house.
James Bond's stand-in grinned mischievously as the audience made its bids, while a blonde Supergirl, dressed in a blue elastic leotard and red knee-high boots, struggled to keep a straight face as the audience competed for her costume.
The costumes came from Angels The Costumiers. The chairman, Tim Angel, said the company was trying to cut insurance costs by selling some outfits. Angels has 1.5 million costumes in its collection.

四百件戲服在本月稍早的一場電影電視戲服拍賣會上售出，其中包括一件被遺忘在倉庫多年的戲服︰在星際大戰三部曲中歐比王肯諾比所穿的棕色外袍。
它以新台幣三百四十三萬九千一百三十一元的價格出售給一位匿名的電話競標者。
「哈利波特︰阿茲卡班的逃犯」片中，由蓋瑞．歐德曼所飾演的天狼星布萊克所穿的灰色外袍，以新台幣九十九萬三千五百五十九元的價格售出。
拍賣會場上的工作人員充當模特兒，展示一些較搶眼的戲服，包括「霹靂彈」片中龐德所穿的晚禮服。
龐德的替身在觀眾下標時淘氣地微笑，而身穿藍色彈性連身衣和紅色及膝長靴的金髮女超人，在觀眾競標她身上的戲服時則正經八百的板著臉。
這些戲服來自「戲服天使」公司，主席提姆．安傑爾表示，公司試圖以販售部份戲服來刪減保險開支。「戲服天使」收藏有一百五十萬套戲服。
