USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-16-2012 11:55 AM                        What's this: Ebay item #150779623850 It looks like a first-generation 1.2k D-cinema projector. Is it? Buy-it-now for $1300. I guess that these things depreciate more than new cars. It's probably still useful for something, although a scaler would likely cost more than the entire projector.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 03-16-2012 03:38 PM                     Dang it, Scott, the seller removed the item. Or Ebay did.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-16-2012 05:22 PM                     It looks like it was an NEC IS-10 projector from 2003.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-18-2014 12:52 PM                 It has been 792 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 05-18-2014 12:52 PM                     Somebody is asking almost 200bux (!) for the emblem off of an E-7 Apparantly its a 'rare' collectors item. Heck, I've got a couple of these I pulled off of some old e-7's before they were junked; but $200??? Gimmieabreak!  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-18-2014 03:38 PM                     Shit like that has got to be some kind of money laundering scheme or something. I can't believe that anybody would be stupid enough to actually buy something so trivial at such a price. It's got to be some scheme where drug dealers (or whatever) arrange to pay for goods by setting up bogus, overpriced auctions for worthless junk then arranging shill buyers to quasi-legitimize the sale. If some other person, stupid enough to buy the item, comes along then both parties make out.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 05-18-2014 04:13 PM                     Well, in the interest of full disclosure, I once paid a buncha money (but nowhere near $200!) for a glass soundhead door insert that said RCA PHOTOPHONE on it. But because they're made of GLASS, they had a tendency to get scratched, cracked or totally broken, so they are a lot rarer and harder to find than the metal E-7 logo plates, which are pretty much "a dime-a-dozen", comparatively speaking. Plus, I was restoring a machine, so it was worth what I had to pay for it. -jc-  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-19-2014 04:34 PM                        Randy - very interesting theory. I've often noticed that if I'm trying to buy a specific item on Ebay, there will be loads of them on sale for roughly the same price or bidding (i.e. the going rate for that item in that condition), but the occasional one at a wildly inflated "buy it now" price, sometimes up to 10x the going rate. Either the sellers are total idiots for not researching what that going rate is, or there's something else going on: they need proof that they tried to sell it and couldn't for tax reasons, maybe, or, as you suggest, money laundering.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 05-19-2014 05:46 PM                     Option 1 above. I can't fathom someone going to that much trouble for a measly $200. $20,000; maybe.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-20-2014 08:49 AM                     I'm not saying that the particular auction, above, is some kind of scheme. You're right. $200 isn't worth it. The (potential) scam auctions I'm talking about are for things that might have a reasonable price of $20 or $50 being sold for $1,000 or more. The sellers that I have seen usually have a few similarly priced auctions going on at the same time. If somebody did two or three of those under a couple of different user names, it is possible to move $5,000 to $10,000 in a week. I'm not saying that this is true. I'm just asking the question.  |  IP: Logged Mark Hajducki Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Edinburgh, UK Registered: May 2003 posted 05-20-2014 05:42 PM                     For theatre lighting the older 1960s models, such as the Srand Electric Pattern 23, are worth many times functioning second hand modern lanterns. This is mainly due to buyers wanting to make them into decorative fixtures. Compared with modern equipment they are far less efficient and much less able to focus. If any (probably UK based) cinemas or theatres have these rotting in the back of a cupboard it would be worth putting them on ebay.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-24-2019 03:27 PM                 It has been 1921 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-24-2019 03:27 PM                     Here's a screaming deal on a Christie P-35 Intermittent: Linky Anyone notice a slight problem here? If it really had been an intermittent, it is a good price. For what it is though, the price is a bit too high (especially as one of the other pics shows a damaged pad roller.)  |  IP: Logged
