A print of 'Some like it Hot'

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPER-8MM-FEATURE-MARILYN-MONROE-in-SOME-LIKE-IT-HOT/312265296204?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160323102634%26meid%3Def84b7 86ee564679b80d149d8feffe06%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26sd%3D192694755892%26itm%3D312265296204&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1

Considering the very honest description with known "issues", this is getting REALLY good bids! (and my print is in mint condition! HMMMM!)

Madness! Scratched to hell by the sound of it and also, how come it has green scratches, it must be printed on colour stock?

Not as mad as this one. £1,050starting prie for a trailer - no wonder there are no bids.

Yes that is rather pricey, i have a feeling this might be a typo error as the seller has sold films before at OK prices. I have asked the question and will let you know the reply. [Wink]

Some like it hot is, (as we all know), a classic movie but as Stuart said, the condition it pretty abysmal, someone obviously must be desperate to get it to pay this. The seller has been very honest so its up to the guys with too much cash i guess. [Wink]

The starting price for "Some Like It Hot" was only 99p.

And with thst in mind, the listing is more than fair.
The trailer was,as i thought, a typo error and is going to be corrected. Not mine by the way [Wink]

Yeah, i have no issue with the listing either, the seller is very honest, that's what makes it even more incredible with the bids.

To be sure, however, this is an exceptionally good Derann print to begin with! A very sharp B/W print and yep, printed on colour stock, but low fade color stock, so no fears on that.

That trailer is still at that stupid price!!!! Oh well, ive pointed it out to the guy so up to him. (or Her)

Posted by Brian Fretwell (Member # 4302) on October 26, 2018, 02:48 PM:

It seems to have 2 listings. One at that silly price and one at £10.50p https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPER-8-MM-FILM-SLIPPER-THE-ROSE-trailer-colour-SCOPE/153232753439?hash=item23ad62431f:g:wvYAAOSwJStbtOaN.
He must have forgotten to cancel the first one.
