...Just noticed this tonight and although there are over 5 days left there are no bids! Wonder how much this one will go for?

May not sell for much since its spelled "Alians". [Smile]

Gosh, Alians (with out-of-sync audio on reel one) is up to $910.00. I must admit my eyes glaze over a bit when prices go much north of $300 or £250.

Nearly $1000 for a scratched out of sync print. Some people have more money than sense.

With that list of faults it may be made up of some good reels and some "white box specials". I wonder if any reels are mirror image, Derann sold a couple of those cheap.

unreal, for 200 i have a full 16mm feature of cross of iron on the way and its a 1st rate copy. Why the hell would you pay this for an out of sync scratched film. i would get more enjoyment from the $10 disc [Confused]

Posted by Alan Rik (Member # 73) on May 11, 2017, 10:44 PM:

Because..its the hobby! No hobby truly make sense does it? If you have the money and you want the film..more power to you I say. [Smile]

Happy Hobbying!

Alan, my sentiments exactly. Someone must really want to own Aliens on Super 8.

Guys, having seen the screen shot, this is a non-blueish print. No wonder the price keep going up.

If you find the blueish print, you will bin it straight away if you see the good print like this. I bet those who are involded in the bids knew about it.

Here is the comparison between the two version:

The first one has natural color (eg color skin), good saturation, and sharp.

While the second print is so much blueish (human skin is pale), and soft focus.!!.

You're entirely right, Winbert! Gosh! That good color print of yours is absolutely gorgoeus! Lucky guy... Luck - ee- guy!

Posted by David Hardy (Member # 4628) on May 13, 2017, 02:41 PM:

The second print should be advertised as "print as faded to blue".
Must be a Black and White version printed on colour stock.
Hahahahahaha !!! [Wink]

...In finishing the topic, Aliens sold @ $920 after slowing down with 16 bids. A lot of interest in the final reel of the Fog $381, Jason and the Argonauts @ $355, NOTLD $510 and Sound of Music @689. Congrats to the seller and hope the buyers enjoy their Films!
