Goodness me! Did anyone see the speed at which those 3x full length Star Wars films were suddenly snapped up within 24 hours on Ebay UK? All "Buy It Now" at over £700 a piece?

If it was anyone on the forum....... well done!...and.... what time do you want the rest of us all to call in to see you????!!!!

The seller is a well respected collector of the forums and I can sincerely endorse that the quality of the films received from this collector will be exactly as described!

No dissatisfied customers here I am certain and well done to each and every new owner who made the purchases!

It just goes to show, for the right products, the money is still readily made available. [Wink]

Would have loved The Wizard Of Oz, unfortunately I wouldn't have paid that much even though it looks a perfect and extremely rare version.

Thank you Andrew. I am very excited about receiving my print. I'm glad I had the funds to cover my purchase. I just wish I had had the funds to buy a few more features...alas.

I am sure many would simply have given their right arm or leg just to have one Jason.

Congratulations on your treasured print.

Jason - I quite happily stand corrected! I think there was even one of the Star Trek films listed for a very short while if I'm not mistaken?
Congratulations on your purchase.It is sort of nice to know that the film is being kept within the "forum fraternity" so to speak.
Noting your location on this planet, I think I may have to back track on my remark about us all calling round to see it! Ha Ha!

Melvin, that`s correct. Star Trek: Generations was also for sale. I wanted to purchase it as well but had to pass.

I`m also hoping that a few of the prints will stay within the "forum family".

The invitation for a Star Wars viewing is still open though if you can make it to Japan. I now have the original trilogy on Super 8!

My Brother keeps toying with the idea of selling his Star Wars print, every time i look at him i just say, well you can, but once its gone you wont get a copy back again", i think he is definatly going to at some point though.
we watch it once every 2/3 years.

It's a nice £1000 saving pot for him Tom whenever he decides to sell it.

Sent your reel out today btw, first class.
Should be with you tomorrow or Thursday all being well. [Smile]
