I've purchased brand new Castle Films and Columbia,and I can't
recall shrink wrapping,and this was in the '70s.The prints were
all loose lid if I remember correctly.

Crazy prices on ebay. I have bought a film magazine for £1 + post £2.50 total for a mag that cost 2/6 I think that would be 12.5 pence today's money.

Sheesh ...

Where are these kind of bidders when I need them? [Smile]

I'm going to start shrink wrapping everything I sell on Ebay. That's how to get top dollar. [Wink]

Seriously. Then just scuff it up a little and...

Oh, this is just wacko.

Osi asks where these bidders are when he needs them, I would
suggest on medication or in a secure wing of an institution.

Even the third bidder was quite generous in being willing to pay $10!

Posted by David Ollerearnshaw (Member # 3296) on November 01, 2012, 03:52 AM:

Only sold for $150 [Eek!]

So would that make the feature that was out a few years ago worth $5000 it did have sound though. Paul Foster has this version BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN - THE CREATION (B/W) 1X100 £9.99. Universal horror classic.
Also just sold on ebay
SUPER-8-8MM-BRIDE-OF-FRANKENSTEIN-Universal-400-B-W-sound-4004-Boris-Karloff Winning bid: US $49.00
