Bidding began at $80,000 for the online auction, which was run by Profiles in History. Along with the costume itself, the lot included a certificate of authenticity signed by Industrial Light and Magic designer Richard Miller.
Fisher wore the risqué costume in the scene in which she is held captive by Jabba the Hut on Tatooine. The outfit had made many appearances in pop culture such as Friends, Family Guy and Chuck.
