I nearly put this in the general Yak section, but I thought every forum member needed a good laugh, just follow the link and you'll see what I mean, all I'll say is look at the price. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUPER-8-FILM-THE-EMPIRE-STRIKES-BACK-1980-400-FEET_W0QQitemZ380066491955QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item380066491955&_trkparms=72%3A1297%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7 C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Winbert,

I think it's stupid really, as it's a "Buy It Now" price, and at £99 (plus postage of course, thats not free) it's just ridiculous money, dosen't anyone do any research anymore, you've only got to look at the ebay listings to get a rough guide price. Mind you they may be lucky, there may be some naive person out there willing to pay the price, they may think they are getting a piece of cinema history (I suppose in a way they are), but at this silly price for a 400 foot reel, I think most forum members would raise a smile, especially when you think I sold a F/L print in glorious SCOPE for only £200 last year, and that is a real rare print.

Someone should email the seller saying that her price is far too low and that £500 is a better price. Go on, I dare someone!
