This a Derann release at 600' length. It would be between $50 -$80.

Are you right in saying that the ebay listing is at over 100 US dollars right now?

Posted by Winbert Hutahaean (Member # 58) on November 03, 2011, 06:04 PM:

You can list anything in Ebay at whatever price you want. The most important question is "will that film make a sell or not?"

The seller has priced it EUR 80 (around $100) but still no offer. I guess it will not be sold unless people is really planning to screen in at next Christmas.

Do you think anyone could post some screen pics of their copy. I am very interested to see it!

I would wait for another print to come up, which probably will given time. Derann themselves wouldn't charge that much for a used print of thier own title. They tended to have this for around 65 to 70 pounds. That, and you have no idea as to how many lines or scratches this could have.

I remember last year Derann offered for a print with a problem of this title for GBP 35.

But isn't Derann out of business?

Foster's had it on his list but doesn't appear any longer.

Grant. Very popular title and with some amazing colour throughout which always strikes me as being one of the best 600ft’rs Derann ever did. Also worth noting that all the Disney releases had colour artwork that was graded by Disney such were the demands on Derann at the time. You will love it when you find a good copy.

yeah I saw that Larry. I just can't spend 90 dollars at the moment, since I just bought an projector for 80 dollars.
