While "Alien" is a rather common digest, a good color one is another matter altogether. Most copies were on eastman which is, of course, in various degrees of fade.
However, our own Han's had a copy, (and stupid me, I waited a little too long!) but his copy is on Agfa. Someone bought it and it was a GREAT buy at the price he wanted.

Lakshmi, the above Australian company has been discussed so many times here, and we have concluded just to forget it. No email response and high price. What more we need?
BTW, form this seller, I just won another not-too-often title, "The Champ" for $9.99. I believe this is also one of Ken's last releases. So my fingers are crossed it is on LPP.
So far I made a score from this seller for:
- Northwest passage ($17) - Easter Parade ($9.99) - The Champ ($9.99) - Gigi ($9.99)
Nothing are ended in absurd price like the more-common Alien, Ben Hur, Grease...which we still dont understand what was in buyers' mind when they place their bids. ...eeek!...
BTW, if Gigi is on LPP, it would be like Peter Van Zand's print below (he is also member of this forum)
Look how beautiful is the color!
So don't get so pesimistic with MGM, some are just beautiful !!
My hope that this collector bought his collection at the end of Ken era, so the other titles will have similar quality like the above...
cheers,

Again, as with your previous purchases, I think you did good on this one. I saw it for sale this morning, too. I found my copy in December. Luckily, I paid less than $25. I like the edit. I hope yours is less faded than mine.

I am now a little bit closer to completing my Disney 200' collection. I purchased a few more this morning. Both "Robin Hood" reels, "Pete's Dragon" and I finally found "Albatross Airlines" from The Rescuers! Now, to complete the animated classics collection, I have to find both "Sword and the Stone" reels, both "Aristocats" reels, "The Three Caballeros", and "Bambi Falls in Love". Anybody willing to part with any of these?
-------------------- There's a great big beautiful tomorrow just a dream away.

OK with the help of Excel sheet I make a figure and fact information.
ps: Each item is followed with my comment.
Items sold above $100 are:
$384.51 Excorsit 3 x 400 ----> I have this and cost me $45 $203.50 Alien 400'----> I have this and cost me $4 $152.50 Night of Living Dead 2 x 800 ----> May be the correct price, don't have it $147.50 It's Wonderful life 4 x 800 ----> May be the correct price, don't have it $137.50 The Mummy's Tomb 400'----> Don't have it, but usually goes around $75 (top) $133.50 Superman 1200'----> I have this and cost me $45 $127.50 3 Shorts Creature Films Black Lagoon, Walks among , Revenge 1- 800' ----> Usually each cost around $30 so don;t really absurd $122.50 The Mummy" 400' ----> Don't have it, but usually goes around $75 (top) $113.61 Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman 400' ----> Don't have it, but usually goes around $75 (top) $113.50 The Wizard of Oz 400' ----> I have it for $9 $109.16 Jaws" 2 x 400'----> I have it for $25 $102.50 King Kong 400'----> I don't have this, but the German version usually goes around EURO 30 $100.95 Airplane" 1200'----> I have bought it for $30 $100.00 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS" 1200' ----> I have bought it for $25
....and then films sold above $70 but below $100 are:
$93.00 Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back" Part 1 & 2 400' ----> I have bought them for $12 each (it was on Ebay a month ago for $10) $92.00 Ben Hur" 400' Charlton Heston ----> I have bought it for $9 $82.99 The Producers Mell Brooks, Gene Wilder 2 - 800' ----> I don't have this but may be this is the right price $81.00 March of the Wooden Soldiers 2 - 800' ----> I don't have this but may be this is the right price $76.00 The Mummy's Ghost 400' ----> I don't have this but this is the right price $76.00 Our Town 2 - 800' Full Version ----> I don't have this but may be this is the right price $72.00 DR. ZHIVAGO" 1200'----> I have bought this for $30 $71.77 Star Wars 400' Part 1 and 2 ----> I have bought this for $15/each ...very common on Ebay $71.00 Laurel & Hardy "Our Relations" (2) 800' Reels ----> I don't have this but may be this is the right price $70.00 Laurel & Hardy "Pack Up Your Troubles" on 2 800'----> I don't have this but may be this is the right price
I think when we are on Ebay, buyer's psychological aspect must be taken into account too.
Same with Supermarket, how they arrange the shelf and product brands are also with this psychological aspect method.
