Oops, I didn't read that part. Maybe that would be a better idea, I didn't realize these weren't originally 1200' reels. I only said 400' because a.) six reels to match the six 35mm reels; and b.) I read that Puggo's setup can't take 600' reels.
The auction ends in 8 hrs., it's currently at $415 but the secret reserve price isn't met yet. I sure hope compy or someone else here has enough to pay for it.
If the reserve price is really high, maybe multiple members can chip in. I've done this before; since I don't have either the space to store film or the means to project it, I'd split the cost of a print with a friend who had interest in the film in question, room to store it, and contacts with transferring capabilities.
So if the money compyislife has on hand is still below the reserve, maybe other members like SilverWook or Puggo could offer to cover whatever amount is needed to bid past the reserve. I think it'd be worth it to get the print into the possession of an OT member.
