Agree with you on that Lee however, when people sold there films previously it was generally for the VHS market & all the main dealers were still around, as well as projector manufacturers and of course new titles were being released constantly, nowadays you have superb quality image projection with both DVD and Blu ray with sound systems super 8, (although very good) just cannot touch and above all, some super 8 titles are achieving prices i dont think any of us would have imagined, we are tempted but at present holding on. Plus obviously now there are only a very few new titles coming out and you need a mortage to buy one. Be perfectly honest, can you seriously justify spending many hundruds of pounds or dollars on a single movie which if not looked after will have marks and scratches sooner or later?
And of course with dealers as well as us private sellers and buyers using e-bay how long will we subscribe to lists knowing the creame of what we want is not going to be on the lists we pay for but being sold on ebay?? ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Graham has a point and so does Lee. Its been said that e-bay is easier to control, i think after all the successful years of working from lists im not too sure i buy that ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
As ive said before, rewards of achieving very high prices on e-bay is simply too tempting.
We all live in the real world, if you were to sell up tommorrow and had, lets say, T2 feature in stereo scope, All the Star Wars feature films, Texas Chainsaw feature, Alien & Aliens feature, one or two MGM musicals, Grease Feature in scope and Disney Features are you going to
A/ Offer them on here for the average price, (At least knowing there going to good home), or,
B/ Put them on ebay with no returns sold as seen policy, with an honest description and possibly, (only possibly mind), get outragous sums or,
C/ Hand them to one of the few dealers who will give you??? Well you know the sorts of sums from previous years.
Unfortunatly the lists around now are pretty much the same old stuff going around, films we have bought recently have been OK, trailers usually being the best quality along with Derann shorts.
The question is, how long should we hold onto them before they become very little value?
Mind you, if i ever win that lotto then i wont give a monkees how much films cost, i'll buy the lot.
