With less than 2 days to go, there is a copy of the 200' (yes 200') version of Twins of Evil listed on Ebay UK, with 12 bids from 5 bidders......currently standing at £67 ! Am I missing something,or what?
Shall we take bets on the final price? Ha Ha!!

The full version as well as the trailer can be viewed for free on YouTube, of course. I won't be bidding.

That can be said for almost all of our films. It doesnt stop anyone buying them though Will.

The seller is lucky because all the bids above £4 are from two bidders. But by modern standards, £67 wouldn't be particularly extreme. The listing says it isn't faded, and the box looks in excellent condition, so it might be a nice (albeit very expensive) collectable for someone unwilling to pay for a feature.

The feature was for sale on this very forum for £85 just a couple of weeks back.

Maybe the 200ft buyer was someone who only likes shorts.
£67 for 7 minutes of Film or £85 for a 1 1/2 hour full feature.
I know which I'd buy. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

As it happens our copy is going on next week but i'll be surprised to ours go for this much. Be nice though.

I believe the feature offered was the Walton 4 x 400' rather that the Derann full length version, but £85 was still a good price if the color was holding up well. Considering what a good film it is, it's surprising that Walton didn't offer a 400' version.
