Today I went to a flea market with my aunt and picked up the following:
Invaders from mars Full feature for only $25
Amityville horror 400' Digest $10
Seventh voyage of sinbad 200' color sound $10

Was a great day for going to the flea market! [Smile]

You fail to mention how the Color is on these. If the Color is Poor, that's about the right price for them.

Austin, Lucky Dog ... Lucky Dog!

Many good viewings in the future and, with great color, potential good prices on re-sale!

Austin,

What excellent luck! It's nice to know that there are still Sinbads out there with decent color.

Enjoy your films!
