Take a look at this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rare-super8-Colour-Sound-print-Dracula-Frank-Lambella_W0QQitemZ250180433336QQihZ015QQcategoryZ35064QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is this film really made of gold (or at least on solid gold reels), this person must be having a laugh, and they want immediate payment too!

It's obviously a very special print. "Starting to gain a rose tint with age". And the advertiser has trouble with his spelling. Oh! well, it's only three weeks to go before the Blackpool Convention, there will be some bargains there, Barry.

I believe he's referring to the gold "colored" cans. Hey!! if they are gold cans, just melt them puppies down and sell them, there's got to be an ounce or two of God in them thar cans!

This film has been on Ebay for several weeks under different prices. I first noticed it with a £100 price tag then it was lowered. They claim its an almost full length copy, I think not. I just hope somebody dosent get tricked into buying it thinking its rare. They also claim its a treasured copy, well if its that they should know it only lasts about 35 mins.

I know that some people say "That there is one born every minute", but £150 for a 35 minute film, you wouldn't even pay that for a brand new print from Derann. It just tickles me that they want IMMEDIATE PAYMENT too!
