I don't think that you would be considered a "scalper" if you rounded it up to an even dollar.
As it is, the weight of coins increases the mailing costs to the buyer.
But a paper buck is lighter and requires only a single Forever stamp.;)
Under the circumstances, I would not say that your copy of "Moby Dick" was VERY expensive, at all. If TT got the money, I would say that the price; due to the special efforts put into it; was very, very fair. All in all, your investment was a downright steal. Do know that my criticisms are...
I am altogether opposed to the Third-Party Seller outsourcing, which has been visited upon with the Twilight Time and Screen Archives stock, within their limited 3,000 titles.
Restrictions on quantity purchases must somehow be imposed.
Its not Piracy, but it feels damned near close to it, as TT...
Learning of this is sad news. I misunderstood.
I thought that the estimated 6 figures needed towards a full-out restoration had been inclusive of an existing original negative.
Nonetheless, this only serves to deepen my gratitude and admirations towards the work of Greg Kimble;
a gentleman, no...
Would I be correct in surmising that the original negative to "Moby Dick" is in the vault's of MGM?
Also, in an ideal world;

Congratulations to both TT and Greg Kimble, as "Moby Dick" has officially sold out.
8 months of efforts followed by a brisk 4 months of selling 3,000 copies.
Of course, I have no reference experience to the original theatrical showing;
but between my reading of RAH's fascinating review and my...
Is it known what "Moulin Rouge" faces in terms of restoration work?
Not wanting to stray too far off from "Moby Dick", but in many ways this question adheres, as "Moulin Rouge" was also a collaboration between John Huston and DP Oswald Morris, to which their goals were towards another unique and...
I gave you a "Likes" vote, as I couldn't agree with you more.
Case in point, I happen to like the four aforementioned films that you dislike; and it was very brave to openly cite such titles as "drek". In fact, I was quite surprised by the arch of "drek"; but make no mistake, as I am not about...
My favorite moment from "Moby Dick" is the way in which Gregory Peck ominously delivers that infamous line, "We going to need a bigger boat".
That scenes still in there, right?:D
To begin, RAH's lesson on the history to which the film elements of "Moby Dick" has journeyed is a reminder of just how tenuous and fragile our film heritage remains. Despite our ever growing library of BDs, our accessibilities, I hope, will never to be taken for granted.
As for Mr. Kimble's...
