Based on the reel, it looks like it's only a 2 or 3-minute excerpt. Better be the "lost scene" at that price.

Clinton - Do it.

I did the same with a recent 200' film on Ebay UK. A black and white sound film for £135...... I offered £5.

Needless to say it was rejected..... and I bet they thought I was taking the p*** when really, I was having the last laugh!

The spool looks like a 100ft spool, under three minutes at sound speed. Not only that, the leader is double perf indicating the film itself could be silent.
The original runs eight minutes and is, of course, sound. Also is called Steamboat Willie, not Steamboat Willy.
I hope nobody ever considers even making an offer for an obviously truncated film.

The film could be a 16mm Cine Kodagraph.
Kodak put out silent edited versions of films on 100ft spools, they were often tinted yellow, and were for home use.

Horses for courses. Someone may buy it, prize it, boast to friends. No harm in that. Seller is flying a kite and we can watch the show. That's good.
