Author Topic: More junk for sale on Ebay Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-05-2004 06:41 PM                     Waaaay too pricey! Love it when non-cinema folks think people are stupid! I could round up the same deal for less than half that! Didn't save the link, but some jackalope was trying to sell a trailer for "Napolean Dynamite" for $30, claiming it was "Rare!"  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-15-2004 12:02 PM                     Here's a good one I just spotted and it's from a seller with zero feedback. Check out item number 3833347772 which the auction title says is a "Strong International Xenon Power Supply". The item in the picture looks like a Dolby CP-55. The description says, "Antique movie projector in original condition". Sounds like a scam to me.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 08-15-2004 12:10 PM                     He's been a member for nearly five years, and has no feedback; clearly hasn't got a clue what he's selling, sounds like one to avoid, doesn't it.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-20-2004 10:17 AM                     Well that so-called Strong power supply which strangely looks like a Dolby processor has been relisted. It's now item number 3834899215. Someone should ask the seller a question: how much does this "power supply" weigh?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-20-2004 10:37 AM                     I found this on eBay: Someone is selling 12 New Warner Brothers Movie Reels. eBay # 3833688786  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-20-2004 03:19 PM                     Re: Ebay 3834899215. Now it is labeled as an antique movie projector! Definitely a Dolby box, but I can't tell what it is.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 08-20-2004 04:44 PM                        Hmmmmmm... it's both a xenon power supply AND an antique movie projector. I wonder which end the lens goes... and how you thread this bad boy up???? For that matter... anyone have a guess how big a lamp you can stuff into this thing?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-21-2004 08:48 PM                        I'm a little late on this, but... Steve K: That $47,000 wholesale vs $60,000 retail for the Radio Shack inventory would be about typical markup in consumer electronics. At my day job we sell car stereo and related accessories and that's about what we get. Gets kind of irritating because some people think there is a huge markup in that stuff.  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-25-2004 09:40 PM                     I e-mailed the person listing the Dolby unit advertised as a projector and xenon supply and never got a response. I asked them exactly which one is it? A xenon supply, a projector or a Dolby sound unit? With no prior feedback I think I will let this one go.

On another note here is an interesting 35mm projector....E-Bay Item 3834370565 Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-31-2004 06:43 AM                        Holy Toledo, it's a Hammond Novachord! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16219&item=3745071318 It's a STEAL at only $1,000!

And why would you want to buy these? Is there some use for frames chopped out of a print that I just don't get?  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-04-2004 07:28 AM                     Here is the sellers explanation as to why people would want "film cells": "People collect 35mm film cells because they offer a way to acquire high quality photographic material from their favorite movies or of their favorite stars for much less than the cost of photographs or slide duplicates (which may have been repeatedly copied resulting in poor image clarity)." He even has a tutorial on the art of cell collecting: Film Cell Collecting Tutorial Looks like collectors are looking for various scene shots, not strips from the same scene. One of the stranger forms of film collecting, in my opinion.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-04-2004 07:37 AM                     Dod you see where this guy lives.... its Bubbas brother and they're supposed to be out shrimp'n....

Although many of these are nothing more than a trailer cut up, I am tired of seeing repertory prints come in with craploads of splices in key scenes that were clearly cut out for the purpose of ebay "cell sales". John P, think you can bring this up at some meeting?  |  IP: Logged
