Oh, definitely. I once paid nearly that for a 16mm IB Tech print of Horror of Dracula. Just saying, as far as crowd-sourcing, $1200 is a lot to raise. The interwebs are full of stingy people who want something for nothing... They are also full of people willing to donate their time, money, and energy, but those people are fewer and farther between. Not to mention that whatever funds donated would have gone toward one person getting a killer print...
Here's hoping, though, that someone here got it. :)
