That was the first LD release back in the day. (Never came out on disc in the U.S.) Not sure why it should still command such a high price now.
Now, this isn't crazy, but I find this kind of auction creepy.
This is someone's memories being sold off. The more I stare at that photo, the more questions I have. Are any of these people still alive? Did they buy their clothes at Sears? Are they still Star Wars fans? Is that a ghost in the window? Is that a glass of beer on top of the tv?
