Metropolis £ 5.000

[Maurice Leakey]

Rodney, why is this 16mm film under the 9.5mm heading?

[Douglas Meltzer]

Maurice,

I have moved Rodney's 16mm eBay post to the 16mm film Auctions of Interest topic.

[Brian Fretwell]

Just a note that the film is still listed at that price on UK Ebay, by the same seller.

[Maurice Leakey]

There is some confusion here.

The original posting was for a 16mm print of Metropolis which has now sold for US $600.
16mm METROPOLIS (1927) Classic SILENT Sci-fi Feature Film. | eBay

However, there is a 9.5mm copy currently on sale with an asking starting bid of £1820.

But, there is further copy which has been on sale for some tine as a Buy It Now for £5000.

O no, not again! Looking at this sellers other items, they are all over priced. Added to which, the number of collectors of 9.5 mm films has diminished over the past few years. Ken Finch.😭

I fell asleep watching it one time.😵😵😵

[Rodney Bourke]

Yes it's nearly 100 years old, that can happen with Silent Films, even with some Piano Music in the Bacgroud.

150 odd minutes with very highlights. Overrated

[Terry Sills]

I agree with Mike - overrated - overacted - overpriced. Should be a tenth of the asking.

Totally agree most silent cinema is mime or pantomime. Now they call it the Marvel universe 😂
