It's been a year and half since HBO Max (then just Max) cancelled Our Flag Means Death, the queer pirate comedy created by David Jenkins and starring Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi. While the show may be over, fans can now throw their pirate hats in the ring to own a piece of the series, as Heritage Auctions is auctioning off props and costumes from the show.

The auction is part of Heritage's HBO Mashup auction, which also features items from Barry, Big Little Lies, Curb Your Enthusiasm, White House Plumbers, and Perry Mason.

Our Flag Means Death lots include "Wanted" posters for Blackbeard (Waititi); pirate swords, daggers, and pistols; and the mermaid tail Stede Bonnet (Darby) wore during a pivotal Season 2 dream sequence. Several costume pieces are also up for grabs, including Stede's lavish coats and Blackbeard's leather battle ensembles.

At the time of writing this, several lots are still at $1. Meanwhile, the most expensive item is currently the Stede and Blackbeard wedding toppers from Season 2, sitting at over $1,000. The auction ends Aug. 23.

Heritage Auctions isn't the only instance of an Our Flag Means Death auction. In Feb. and March of 2025, series fans organized the Our Flag Means Death craft fair, a 19-day fundraiser that brought in $105,000 for the Campaign for Southern Equality’s Trans Youth Emergency Project. Many of the pieces on sale were created by fans, ranging from embroidery pieces to jewelry. However, the Craft Fair auction also included donations from Our Flag Means Death's cast and crew. Jenkins donated an Our Flag Means Death teapot, along with a prop that Waititi doodled on during filming.
