Hundreds of people lined up around the block for a movie set sale at Lumiere Film Studios in 91原创 on Saturday, Feb. 11.

Among them were two friends, Peggy from 91原创, and Rose from Surrey, who had arrived at 9:20 a.m., well ahead of the 10 a.m. opening at the 20,000 sq.ft studio at 20329 Logan Avenue 鈥� only to find other bargain hunters had the same idea.

鈥淲e were number 12 in the lineup,鈥� said Peggy, who wanted to buy a blue couch she鈥檇 seen among the sale items posted online.

鈥淚t was gone,鈥� she told the 91原创 Advance Times, and while she left without that particular item, it was not empty-handed, as she departed the studio with an armful of other bargains.

鈥淚 bought two lamps, which I didn鈥檛 come for,鈥� she laughed.

Rose, who said she was there to support her friend, also ended up making some purchases, including a lamp of her own.

鈥淚 got dessert dishes,鈥� a pleased Rose reported, 鈥渁nd a lamp.鈥�

鈥淚 spent $10.鈥�

Peggy estimated her purchases totalled about $15.

Inside, the high-roofed space that would normally be reserved for indoor production sets was filled with tables displaying movie props 鈥� everything from fancy dinner plate settings, to barber shop chairs and other furniture, along with many fabric flowers, all manner of electronic devices, and, in the very back, a row of battered-looking dummies.

Lawrence Waardenburg from Abbotsford found some cork floats that were probably used for a fishing scene in some made-in-B.C. film production.

鈥淚鈥檓 picking them up for a friend,鈥� Waardenburg explained.

鈥淭hey have a [camping spot] near the lake in Agassiz.鈥�

Katie, one of the busy staff who were assisting buyers, could not say exactly which movies the many items on display may have appeared in.

鈥淚t鈥檚 so many,鈥� she said.

鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 even tell you.鈥�

It was the first time Lumiere had hosted a sale.

Will there be another?

鈥淢aybe,鈥� Katie responded. 鈥淧otentially. There鈥檚 always a possibility.鈥�

In 91原创 City and Township, it鈥檚 estimated more than 2,000 people work in the industry, and are paid more than $50 million.
