    Dawn of the dead film reels for sale

    Hi everyone, I have just gotten possession of dawn of the dead 1978 on 35mm film. It is the full uncut American theatrical version on 7 full reels. Does anyone have advice on the best place to try and sell this and what it should be worth?

    I wouldn't even know where to begin with this! Does it look like it's still in good condition etc?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Hi, yes I had it run through by a local projectionist and it is complete and in good condition, he said very good for its age. Soundtrack is clear and intact.

    Don't know if I'm right, but I thought Philly might have some info, since he knows so much about Dawn and shot him a PM.

    Personally, I think it's awesome you found a copy, but haven't a clue about its worth. Did a quick search and came up with someone else who posted a similar query a few years back here.

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I guess I can put it up on ebay and see what kind of response I get. Will post a link to the sale here when it is listed, hopefully it will find a home with someone who can screen it regularly for their zombie horde and friends.
