Due to ebay, (with all of it's good and bad points), the super 8 market has been absolutely FLOODED with laurel and hardy's, Chaplin's ect. If the prices continue to plummet, my films are going in the box with me - I'll put that in my will! So shouldn't BE BIG have gone for a lot more than $36 in 16mm? almost nobody collects every car in a model range.
I guess the difference comes when you are trying to get every film in a series. Nobody wanted them then and it has stayed that way. Often the rarer cars were the ones with the ugly colors and undesirable options (small engine in a big car, for example).
So the less popular films that didn't sell that well became the rarer films that now demand a higher price? I paid more than that for my Super 8 print almost 20 years ago.Īgain, BE BIG is one of the rarer titles, not the greatest seller either, hence cost is more - Sometimes it all depends on who you're dealing with Looks interesting.Ī 16mm Blackhawk print of BE BIG sold for $36 today on eBay. Hopefully this will be of interest to you when you read it. We now have 27 laural and hardys, always puts a smile on our faces. Unacustomed as we are was one of a few L&H films that were released originally in both silent and sound versions, as sound was just coming in. Near-same or to $25 - They are rare, with the boxes, andĭarn-near mint (my own designation) - Shorty UNACCUSTOMED AS WE ARE, BATTLE OF THE CENTURY (Partially restored), and the Vitaphone Scored-Silents, these always command a premium - Back when, I was getting the silentsįor $10-$20 on average, and occasionally the talkies for The L&H films aren't always in-demand, per se - Point is, fluctuates as does most markets - The seldom-seen titles (Get on the Garden State Parkway and head for a weekend of film!)Īll I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by. as a New Jersey film collector you really should know about it. That's the joy of collecting Laurel and Hardy: when you get in the mood for one you usually don't have to wait very long! There not rare enough at the moment to hold up any value.(i guess). Most of the remaining dealers always have a very good selection of titles. The only reason i can think of is that some,(not all) of the titles are in such an abundant supply. The price in today's dollars is less than when new in 1970's dollars.
