999 U.S Dollars? In 24 hours? "That's impossible, even for a computer.".

Yeah, I saw that one. I don't think it could be any better than the prints Puggo used. One of the screencaps looks like it's from a video source and not the print.

There is probably enough material in the hands of "top men" around here to make a good preservation of SW now.

Where were you in '77?

 This might be true, but since Poita now has a vastly superior way to capture 16mm, it'd be great to get a copy down to him. 

Alas, he's in the hospital or some kind of health clinic (right?) and I can't spare the cash...

I believe it's priced too high to start ......

 Jaxxon would likely be willing to loan his prints out again, but I think we ought to see how that Super 8 version turns out.

I'm getting hit by surprise expenses right and left, so it's out of my reach. I would want to see more of the print to better judge it's condition for that kind of moolah. Similar auctions have been able to do this.

That "screenshot" is from the mthr bootleg. As in, actually from mthr's color-corrected version.

Can't tell from the picture of the actual film how faded it is...

Confirmed - the image seems to have been lifted from here: http://savestarwars.com/goutcorrect-starwars.html

So it this a scam? Did somebody ask him why he used a screenshot from a different version?

They probably just did an image search and grabbed the first thing they saw.
