Breaking Bad – going, going, gone

Breaking Bad fans mourning the imminent demise of their favourite show can console themselves by snapping up Walter White's cadillac, Gustavo Fring's air freshener or that pink teddy with the eye hanging out that you might remember floating in the Whites' outdoor pool. All are included in an auction of props from everyone's favourite chemistry teached turned pistol-toting drugs kingpin drama. But some of the items are more immediately associated with the show than others. While you will have no problem impressing your pals with your Vamonos pest control truck – starting price, $5,000 (£3,100) – you might have more trouble persuading them that the pair of outsized white pants you just bought (starting price, $250) really were the ones sported by Bryan Cranston. And Hank Schrader's neck brace – well, that's just weird, even if it is a relative snip at $50. We're bidding for Hector "Tio" Salamanca's 'Breaking Bad' bell – ting, ting, ting, ting! – but if we can't stump up the $3,500 starting price (we can't) we'll go for Jesse Pinkman's robot vacuum cleaner, the Roomba. Just so long as they empty it first.
