The bid went to Walt’s copy of Leaves of Grass, for $65,500, while the lowest winning bid was a tie between Hank’s boots and Hank’s pyjamas, with each pulling in $300.
Other items drawing five-figure final bids were Hector 'Tio' Salamanca’s bell ($26,750); the pink teddy bear that plunged from an exploding airliner ($23,250).
The eyeless version of the teddy bear ($20,250); Tuco’s grill ($20,250); and Walter’s Cadillac ($19,750). Walt’s red car remote, which played a crucial role in the finale, went for $8,400.
Walt's Lily of the Valley took $5,100, which is a lot for a fake plant, for not for a piece of history.

The founders of Screenbid said the site was created to help studios dispose of their props systematically and profitably.
The Breaking Bad auction was organized in collaboration with producer Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Sony Pictures also has participated in a second auction to sell paraphernalia from the James Franco film This Is The End.
Props and other items on Screenbid have been authenticated by the studio, producers or artists involved in the sale.

I'd love to have some memorabilia from Breaking Bad but unfortunately i'm in the 'more sense than money' criteria unlike the winning bidders.
