There's a copy of dumbo on eBay if any one is interested

Yes, I've seen it Kevin. A lot of unknowns though surrounding these prints on sale unfortunately and the usual predicament of having nothing to test it with. [Confused]

It's one I have already, but I'm sure it will interest others given its scarcity nowadays, if the price stays reasonable.
Even worth a gamble perhaps so long as it remains very low towards the end.

Thanks there, Adrian!

It looks to be the full feature, I wish that they could have given a better description, however.

It's a UK sale only.

And i've changed my name by depol apparently! [Big Grin]

There's no screen shots so it's a gamble with what quality it is

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on September 03, 2016, 02:00 PM:

There's no anything really, so total guess work??
Don't even know who the distributor was???

"Untested but appears to be very good"

How can anyone say that of totally untested goods?

Well the reels and box look ok [Big Grin]

Well there is 7 bids on it so far.

The leader looks mangled, so that's not a good sign. Still, I'd be tempted to bid, if it had US shipping. Dumbo is my favorite Disney feature.

"Untested but appears to be very good"

Maybe they sniffed or licked it! 😜 I think the rating is only good not very good. 🤑

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on September 03, 2016, 11:52 PM:

Imagine then, how many bids this would have, if it had a decent detailed description and some valid worthy screenshots John!

The seller has sold countless reels over more than a year. You'd think they would have thought to invest in a projector by this point [Smile]

Not my place to judge I suppose. I'm curious to see what it goes for though. Best of luck to anyone bidding! And good luck to the winner too! [Wink]
