Any guesses as to how much this print ends up selling for? [Confused]

US $300-600. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. That's their film and, for that price, they can keep it.

I agree with Bill. It is a classic, but a classic that takes a specific audience who wants it.

I'll watch this with interest to, my Brother has a full length Kodak print of this feature also mounted on 4 x 1200ft Elmo spools. A great film and a superb print but not my cup of tea im afraid. [Wink]

I would love a print but I expect it'll disappear price wise.

I have a very good book about Selznick and after reading this book I bought a 35mm Technicolor print of GWTW.
I watched the first 2 reels and it was realy great.
At this time, I didn´t have enough reels, to watch the whole movie without long breaks to rewind the reels back on core. Later I bought few new reels.
But you don´t belive it, since this time I´m not to be in the mood to watch this movie.
This is now over a year ago.

Including the shipping it would be approximately C$600.00, plus import duty fees and tax on top of that. I reckon the total would be in the region of C$730.00 - £450.00. [Eek!]

PS I am not the buyer, it appears to be a collector in Germany??

Chris, I think that is still good compared when it was brandnew, which I think around GBP 450 (cmiiw) or aroun $675. Plus now Derann has now closed down.....
