I saw an episode of Australian pickers where they went to some old movie collector's theatre where he had at least three reels of Star Wars. Pickers were drooling on it but the guy said he should have "a million dollars" before considering selling it, haha. Are you aware of this guy, poita? He had some unique film equipment at his still working cinema. Just shows you that those are still out there.

Where people come up with these prices for things that bears no resemblance to reality, I have no idea. I've seen this happen with everything from not so rare comic books to animation cels.
