[quote name=\'tvwxman\' date=\'Oct 7 2004, 06:37 PM\']I'd wait till the auction ends.....then fire off an email to the guy....make a deal on it then...after we find out here how many people are interested/for how much money...

Careful, though. I've actually done that a few times, and as often as not, I've either been ignored or gotten back nasty, elitist messages from holier-than-video film collectors who consider us beneath them. And you know I asked nicely.

You absolutely cannot count on the ultimate buyer being someone who's the slightest bit interested in converting it for you or anybody else.

I think the seller smells blood in the water...

Count me in (Up to around $30)

I just heard back from the seller about the reserve price. He won't say what the reserve is. Take that info however you want.

Hopefully the reserve's not that outrageous, regardless...It'd be awful to have a rarity come up, only to lose it to a $516.32 reserve

A reserve price that's not hidden isn't a reserve price. It's a minimum bid.

Cause it's not like there's a huge demand out there for 1960's gameshows on kinescope.

Taking Michi-matt's advice with a grain of salt, I say, wait. I'm not going to jump through hoops for this guy, just to determine how much he wants for it....See if he'll negotiate after he doesn't get his reserve price.

Another warning: I was doing this before some of you whippersnappers knew how to spell Ebay, and two things I've learned about film collectors is that anything on film has value to them and some of them have very deep pockets.

[quote name=\'Bob Zager\' date=\'Oct 4 2004, 10:41 AM\']That's the good news! The not-so-good-news, is that it is a kinescope.

The item has since been relisted. There's still a reserve; but the minimum bid has been dropped to $24.99
