I’m still on the fence about the purchase, but it’s hard to say no to owning the film.
Well you can always re-sell it. The only thing I’d point out to you is that the cost to strike a brand new 2hr 35mm print from the IP is about $2000 (if I’m not mistaken). So you do have to consider that the asking price is about twice what it would theoretically cost to strike a new print, baring in mind though that you can’t get new prints of this film though. My point being that you can always re-sell it later if you store it right and keep it in the condition you got it in, but there’s no guarantee of its value later on. If you do get it, yes people would love to get it scanned at 4K I’m sure! 😃
