1.49 million for a replica. Dawg, wut iz u doin?! Woof.

Great share, thanks!
- Not to mention a plastic replica. And it wasn't even like a charity auction. Holy shit, a couple thousand would've felt like a stretch for something like that.
  
  Edit: wait, why does it have "jewel embellishments"? What the fuck on Earth? I never watched the show, but every time I've seen the throne, it's clearly pure iron. I feel like I'm going to have a stroke.
- For some people this is a small amount to pay for a prank or novelty gift.
Game of money laundering, or alternatively game of bribery

It appears there were a lot of actual movie set items in this auction lot, in addition to the replica throne... Perhaps some people assumed the throne was the set throne
