Not New Zealand [Roll Eyes]

why?.....at that price you could ship it to the moon. Anyway I saw it when it first came out on the big screen and it wasn't that great at the time. The recent $14 dollar blu-ray "directors cut" projected on a VP is much much better. [Smile]

I would love to own this... but I just couldn't justify the (starting) price at even half what it's set at. [Roll Eyes]

He is trying to find one of those rich men who live in Rusia, China or Japan, for example. A science fiction fan, or a Blade Runner collector or lover. We have to think that not all the auctions of films are for films collectors. As an example, the Delorean cars buyers aren´t only car collectors or motor fans, a lot of Back To The Future fans dream with their own OUTATIME.
About the price, who knows? It can happen. How many 35mm prints of your desired title are available? Where and when? A rich man can spent any amount of money to get things, but we ALL only live once (unless you believe in reencarnation, and it would be difficult to be a film collector being a worm [Smile]

Sheesh! At that price, you would think that they would at least have a few screenshots, even if it's just holding up the film in front of sunlight to take some photo's.

At any rate, whoever buys it, make super 8 prints of it! [Smile]

It would make a nice 600' digest.Imagine suggesting that to the
prospective purchaser, just to see the expression on his face,
especially when he realises that his print has to be cut up!

I second OSI, whoever buys this film, should use to make super 8 or 16mm prints out of it. For such load of money some profit could be made. Maybe the famous "German Lab" could buy this print... They can count me on the list of buyers. [Smile]

Well, I honestly couldn't see any profit being made on releasing it on Super, but individuals would certainly hound the German labs for prints, no doubt!
