Since it has many bidders (50 at the moment), I didn't put this in the "eBay oddities" section. I'm surprised that so many people are willing to pay a fortune for a 180 mt / 600 ft film. It's about the Lumière brothers but the film is dated 1946 so I Wonder if it's that rare ("introuvable", hard to find as the seller states). So far, the film has reached 302 euros !

Amazing; there must be other copies out there, I would think.

Wikipedia doesn't say it's a lost film or anything like that. For those who understand French : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Cinématographe_Lumière#Distribution
