Gates McFadden sells her personal TNG scripts

... because she needs money to finance her theater projects. The scripts are signed and come with a folder with the call sheets for the shooting included, mostly $105 each.

I already bought five scripts from her.

I presume they sold out because I can't find them in the link you provided. :'-(

Did you get to chose the script you buy or did she send you a random one? I presume Best of Both Worlds, Farpoint and What You Leave Behind would have fetched more money?
 
She doesnt put all scripts at once in her shop, but a hand full every couple of days or so.

Of course you chose the scripts you want.
 
Screw it, it's just money. I bought the Preemptive Strike script.:cool:

Edit: Is there a list which scripts have already been sold?

I'm trying to buy the Bonding script as an Xmas gift for my wife, but it keeps saying that "none are in stock" when I put it in my cart. :confused:

Maybe someone else bought it while you put it in your cart?

Check her shop every day, it looks like the scripts show up two or three at a time.

Edit: I just checked, I can put the bonding into my cart, maybe try a different browser???
 
If someone else bought it, fine. But it keeps showing up on her sale page as if it's still for sale.

It is, see my edit above. Weird that it doesn't work for you or maybe it's fate and tomorrow or Wednesday your wife's favorite episode script shows up and you can buy that instead.
 
I can put it in my cart too, but when I try to pay, it says "Sorry, we do not have enough "*New Item* Shooting Script: "The Bonding"" in stock to fulfill your order right now. Please try again in 60 minutes or edit your cart and try again. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."

Tried a different browser, and also tried on my iPhone. Same thing. Oh well.
 
Still there. Maybe someone else did put it in a cart but didnt order it (but because of that it is blocked for a certain time).

I follow her shop since she opened it. I would say she sold around 30 scripts. It looks to me she only gives scripts away which she is not so much attached to it (because she had only a couple of lines in the episode). I bought "Chain Of Command, Part 2" from her - I guess she wanted to keep part 1, since she has many scenes in it.

Yeah, that's probably it. I can add other items to my cart and it doesn't show that error message.
 
What? Why is she selling those for so much less?

I mean ... it's great for you (Congratulations :bolian: ) but she could have have made much more money.
 
I know. I tweeted her, she should try eBay for better prices (just because so many more visitors see her offers by accident through a search), a couple of weeks ago, because I estimate a price around $500 for an used (and signed) script from a main character of such an iconic show, but it seems she wants very reasonable prices for her fans.

I already paid $150 each for two TNG scripts years ago, and not from one of the actors (more from the production staff). One was at least signed by Brannon Braga ("Cause and Effect").
 
I like that the script cover reflect how much the production team had lost interest by season seven :lol:

Is there a usual time for these things to go up? I'm yet to see any. :-(

You're correct - she could get much more for these beauties.
