There is actually a brand new print of this on ebay right now Kevin

It's an incredibly difficult film to find now ordinarily and took me quite a few years to find the one I have for my own collection.

It's possible to pay by many other means other than PayPal for films won on ebay Kevin.

Money transfer (IBAN) is often more popular in Germany than PayPal as a method of payment.

Hiya Andrew and Bruno the reason I'm asking for exchanging is I've not got the cash been made redundant due to ill health ,I have arthritis really bad so that's why I'm asking for exchanging the film .I bought the films because they where in the tray at derann a day before they closed I was over Dudley and thought I'd pop in and saw them so I bought them brilliant quality they are Andy.

Just a thought Kevin - why don't you list your three Derann films for sale on here this would then give you the funds to bid on Ichabod as it has a few days left to run on Ebay?

Kevin.

That's really sad news Kevin regarding both your employment status and more importantly my friend,.your health!

If I were to win this print, I'd do you the deal on my own Ichabod which is still a beautiful print mounted onto 2 x 800ft spools exactly how the cuts meant it should have been released!

Thats very kind of you Andy that would be lovely ,I've never sold anything on eBay buddy so I wouldn't know what to do .

It went for more than I was prepared to pay for this title sorry Kevin. [Frown]

Hiya Andy no worries it'll come up again sometime ,Andy I was looking in the derann catalogue and this was released on 3×600ft reels and the one on eBay was 2×600ft+200ft.

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on February 06, 2017, 06:45 AM:

Yes sorry about that again there Kevin.

I think it can be found spooled as a 3x 600ft release or as this one recently was seen.

It fits best as a 2x 800ft film with the story of Icabod on one reel and Mr Toad on another.

In the "Old Days", this one would have made a perfect 4x 400ft release best.

I am not sure which part spilled over onto the 200ft reel on the one that sold there recently, but either way it will have been the full film and just the manner in which derann put this out in that instance.

On 3x 600ft, one reel will have hardly anything on it as was often the case with some of these releases.

The film is 68 minutes long. I have spooled the first two reels in one 800 ft reel and left the third 600 ft reel as it is. And I am perfecrly happy!

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on February 06, 2017, 12:26 PM:

Good for you Panayotis! [Wink]

Which part was on the 200 footer, Mr Toad or Icabod?
