Some massive sales of movie props closed Wednesday night at a Propstore auction in Los Angeles.

The top item was a Chewbacca photo-matched bow from the original Star Wars trilogy, which sold for $768,000.

A screen-matched light up radio from "Ghostbusters" also brought in serious money at $327,600.

A used sword from Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Conan The Barbarian" sold for $176,400, and an outfit made for Michael Keaton in "Batman Returns" sold for $157,500.

The most shocking sale was, without a doubt, one of the 13 bicycles made for "Pee-wee's Big Adventure." Given a high estimate by the auction house of $30,000, it sold for $144,900.

Other big sales were John Travolta's T-Bird jacket from "Grease," which sold for $126,000, and Tom Cruise's jacket from "Top Gun," which was purchased for $81,900.

Rounding out Day 1 of the three-day auction, which saw more than $6.8 million in total sales, were a jersey made for Adam Sandler in "The Waterboy" ($22,050), one of Will Ferrell's suits from his portrayal of Ron Burgundy in "Anchorman" ($10,080), Matthew Broderick's shoes from "Ferris Bueller" ($7,560) and Robert De Niro's glasses from "Casino" ($6,300).
