Ballpark Value of Silent Movie Rolls
By Peter Coggins

Hi,

To answer Rick's question on picture rolls at Ebay, the bidders on
these are well known for crazy prices!  Most of the Reproducing or
other unusual rolls are currently going for ridiculous prices.   I
think these bidders have more money than sense and don't seem to have
much of a knowledge of the real value - but I suppose thats great if
you are selling them!! :):)

So its time to clear out those old rolls in the cupboard!!!

The final price for the 22 Picturolls was US $737.50.   3 Ampico jumbo
rolls US $84,  24 DA rolls of unknown quality currently US $332 with a
few days to go yet!

There is currently a Steck DA player on Ebay with 21 rolls currently at
$177 but below reserve.

Also, to add to Darrell's list of Mastertouch Picturolls, there is 2
more:

    Erotik - PS8822
    Arabian Dance - PS8823
