Too much money for a 400' digest. Considering it's probably not from a reliable original source. No reflection on the present seller if it is you [Confused]

My guess would be it's a pirated print. [Eek!]

I just can't see that kind of money for that size reel. [Smile]

Its not too much money for the right person.
As we have seen with this hobby...$250 for a 400ft print of Alien when there are sooo many around?
I passed on a Full Length copy of "Enter the Dragon" Super 8 Scope many moons back. Found out that it was very, very rare and I went for the "Game of Death" instead. Sigh.

I don't know if it's a pirate or not. I definitely have NEVER seen it before. I know another forum member commented that he had the exact Super 8 print as well, English with Dutch Subtitles. Personally I don't think it is, I think it's from a small Dutch Company called Met Ned. Ondertitels. (as the box states)

I paid close to the starting bid for the film myself and after the international fees & hassles and shipping costs I'll be making about eight bucks if it even sells! [Wink]

But if it doesn't sell, I'll just hold on to it. I already have a few UFA KK VS. G Digests and figured someone would enjoy having something as unique as this.

I think Alan is spot on, that it's worth whatever a collector is willing to pay for it. It is in fact a beautiful color print and it is in English and RARE,RARE,RARE so you never know!

I can tell you one things for sure, it aint no DVD digest print! [Big Grin]

Anybody else ever seen this print of King Kong VS. Godzilla? (Check the link above)

Thanks!

Tim

The 400' could be a 'Top Film' release as they were a major source of Dutch releases. In fact "Met Ned. Ondertitels" means "With Dutch subtitles"!
