Another buyer wants the print, the owner has only given me until Sunday unfortunately. If it gets close, I can borrow the rest and hope that future donations come in.

Alternatively, can you ask the other buyer to borrow the print in exchange for a copy of the scans?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Not a chance unfortunately, I know who the other buyer is, and he is vehemently opposed to scanning prints. Oddly a lot of 35mm collectors are, perhaps they feel it will degrade the price of their collections?

Interesting. That sucks. :-/

Remember .... we HAVE the DTS cinema audio for this. It would be QUITE a treat to have this close of a theatrical experience with a movie.

Wow nice one DoomBot.

I'll do $50. Poita is offering an insane deal giving his services away for free to us; I paid about double that just to get a short trailer of a movie scanned. Wish I had more to contribute right now.

My friend can't spare any cash ATM. But I'm willing to go up to $50 if the pot reaches $750.

I can throw in another $20 (bringing my total up to $40), but that's all I could do right now.

Put me down for $50!

And to the collectors that don't want prints scanned, are they just going to sit on them until they are gone? What exactly is the point of that? Especially these days, as the studios aren't going to do us any better.

I'd rather not, because currently I am in a difficult position [ :( ] that every single cent is valuable to me, but if it doesn't look like we can reach the goal otherwise, I'll try to chip in with $5. I have a Paypal account, that is all that is required, right?
