'Lost' pilot script sells for $18,000

A script for the pilot episode of Lost fetched $18,000 (around £11,580) at a recent auction.

A number of props and pieces of memorabilia were sold off, including the script signed by series creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, in Santa Monica, California on August 21 and 22.

The highest bids were for a computer and a hatch door which formed part of 'the Swan' station, both of which were sold for $19,200 (£12,355).

Other items sold included a large piece of wreckage from the Oceanic Flight 815 aircraft, a ring worn by character Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) and maps used by the mysterious Danielle Rousseau (Mira Furlan).

The auction was attended by actors Sterling Beaumon (who played young Ben Linus) and Daniel Roebuck (Leslie Arzt).

Lost: The Final Season and Lost: The Complete Collection are both available on DVD and Blu-ray from Monday, September 13.
