I don't know where she got this idea, but she just bought ton of films for me from Craiglist. They are:
Full Feature:
1. The Sound of Music (Derann, 2 x 1200' + 1 x 600') 2. The Railway Children (Iver, 1 x 1200' + 1 x 400') 3. The King and I (Derann 2 x 1200') 4. Sleeping Beauty (Derann 3 x 600' in 1 x 1200') 5. The Jungle Book (Derann 3 x 600' in 1 x 1200')
Trailers: (all col & sound)
1. Snow White and the seven dwarfs 2. Sleeping Beauty 3. Cinderella 4. Peter Pan 5. Lady and the Tramp 6. The King and I 7. Do Re Me (from Sound of Music) 8. Sound of Music 9. The Jungle Book 10. 101 Dalmations (2 Trailers)
Digests: (all col & sound)
1. Sleeping Beauty (Both Digest 2 x 200') 2. Cinderella (both Digest 2 x 200') 3. The sword in the Stone (both Digest 2 x 200') 4. Robin Hood (both Digest 2 x 200') 5. The Rescuers (both Digest 2 x 200') 6. Peter Pan (both Digest 2 x 200') 7. Mary Poppins (both Digest 2 x 200') 8. Lady and the Tramp (both Digest 2 x 200') 9. The Jungle Book (both Digest 2 x 200' + Marching Band 200') 10. 101 Dalmations ((both Digest 2 x 200') 11. Bambi (both Digest 2 x 200') 12. The Aristocats (both Digest 2 x 200') 13. Snow White and the seven dwarfs (both Digest 2 x 200') 14. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too (both digests 200') 15. The Small One (200') 16. The Old Mill (200') 17. Swiss Family Robinson (200') 18. Toot, Whistle, Plunk, Boom (200', stereo) 19. Roller Coaster (100',scope, stereo) 20. Donald Duck ""Bearly Asleep"" (Derann, 200', scope) 21. Pink Panther (4 x 200) 22. Born Free (400', scope) 23. The many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Compilation 1 x 400')
Here is the picture (taken from the seller's Craiglist listing):
There are 4 titles are in Supa Spool (1600'). The rest bigger reels on Goldberg reels.
I am happy with this surprise. But since I am the one who work in Canada, so basically she was spending my money too
So while thanking her for this nice gift, I was carefully asking her how much did she spend for them. Worrying that she might have not known the real value of these films.
She said $350 for all of them.
So what do you think guys? Is it OK price?
cheers,

Thanks guys (and girl....!)
Hugh, I should be happy with her purchase but (as I told previously), as I am the only one a "money maker " in this family, so imagine she is buying "THE ROSE" for $75 by thinking that will make me happy....
But now after getting confirmation from the members here, I am more than happy now.
Alan, the Craiglist here is also full of junk, but sometimes we can get lucky. Remember I shared here around two year ago, I bought a GS-1200 from Craiglist for $85 after sitting in the list for 2 weeks with NO TAKERS! Funny how the seller was also Ebayer with thousand ratings. Wonder why he did not list it on Ebay instead.
Anyway, here is my quick check on the print:
Full Feature:
1. The Sound of Music = combination of two prints. The first 1200 is faded (warming), the second 1200' is good color. Scope print. 2. The Railway Children = very faded. Will go to EBay 3. The King and I (Derann 2 x 1200'). Color excellent, scope print. 4. Sleeping Beauty (Derann 3 x 600' in 1 x 1200') Excellent color, no mark. Derann cover is included. 5. The Jungle Book (Derann 3 x 600' in 1 x 1200') Excellent color, no mark. Derann cover is included.
All trailers are good to excellent color.
Most digest are on Kodak SP and eastman hence warming/faded except for The Small One, Toot-Whistle-Plunk-Boom, Roller Coaster, Donald Duck ""Bearly Asleep" and Pink Panther (4 x 200) arebeither on LPP or AGFA hence colors are excellent.
