You never know how much these film are going to fetch. I have never seen a sound version of this film anywhere. It's no wonder the bids are rolling in.

Pasquale - Hope your dollar starters do the same! We laugh when we see opportunists price their films at a ridiculous price..... but if it gets there on its own merit...........!

This started at a sensible $9.98 - Naturally, certain titles will cause escalation - Shorty

Exactly my point,Joe. Sometime a film will just take off from humble starting prices. Lucky seller!

The fact that it's sealed probably has a lot to do with the high bids. I only hope the buyer will crack it open and enjoy the print.

That's insane but obviously the winning bidder really wanted that print. I used to own the silent version of that print but was disappointed that the Metaluna alien did not make an appearance in the digest!

Turn out the lights,the movie is starting!

And being a Black & White print it won't suffer from colour fade!
Still , that was a lot of money for what looks like a 200ft film.
Oh and imagine if it was faulty in some way but not discovered because it was still sealed!
But that's just being negative :-)
P.S. I love Sci-fi so I think if I had lots of money I would bid high too :-)

Cheers from me in New Zealand :-)

Douglas, thanks for that info. A B&W digest of a beautiful color film wouldn't suit me at all, especially without the metaluna mutant [Big Grin] Too bad all the U8 400 footers of This Island Earth that I've seen have faded to red [Embarrassed]
