Yup, that's it. It has been over a year and a half since I saw the
last one auctioned off for $1,100 IIRC.

Wouldn't it be amusing if Disney actually released the film on R1 DVD
to watch all of those HK SOTS LDs plummet in market price?

The LD might not loose so much in value, if any, if they did.
It will still be rare on LD.

Happy Birthday, Mark B.! Mark, please let us know if this auction was
legit, or not.

I wasn't aware that Song of the South is considered "anime." ;-)

The seller didn't know the value of the item and must have listed it with a
BIN of only $9.99. What a steal!

Brackets might help defeat word wrap.

Yes. Henry, the seller, usually has more of a handle on rare items.

It looks like the deal never took place, although it would be nice if
the winning bidder, mvealf (a sometimes contributor to this NG), could
post verification of this...

Neither winning bidder not seller (hongkongmovies) left feedback for
one another.

mvealf here:
Unfortunately, that auction never happened. I saw it shortly after he
posted it, and I thought it was probably a mistake (who would put a
$9.95 buy it now price on the HK Song of the South, which in the past
I have sold for over $1,000?). I quickly bid on it, just in case it
was true, I have bought from him before. But he e-mailed me and said
it was a mistake, an accidental re-posting of something he posted a
year earlier. Oh well. Wouldn't it have been great? But as I
thought, too good to be true.

P.S. How did you know I just had a birthday?

That's funny, since he appears to have relisted it with an opening bid
of $199.99:

Yes, I saw that. The one I bid on was over 3 months ago, I'm
surprised it hasen't been deleted by now. There were several things
incorrect about his original auction, he listed it under the genre of
Anime & Manga, and also said it was in digital sound with CX noise
reduction, none of which is true. It was probably posted
automatically, so he decided to re-post it correctly. Anyone who has
actually watched that laserdisc would instantly realize that the
Japanese laserdisc is much better in picture and sound quality. The
HK laserdisc is very pale and fuzzy looking. I realized that I would
never chose to watch that version over the Japanese laserdisc, so I
sold it. The only thing it has going for it is the fact that it has
no subtitles during the few songs. But neither does the PAL VHS, and
it has better picture and sound. The HK LD is worth $9.99 or more,
but not $199.99 +. Like someone said earlier, once the DVD comes out,
which it eventually will, all previous versions will plumet in price.

I didn't. However, getting the HK SOTS LD for $10 would have been a gift.

Not so long as Disney still holds the rights, it won't.

You mean as long as Eisner is still in charge, it won't. He has been
the reason it hasn't been released all along, and he's leaving soon.
Roy Disney is trying to get it released, and he will eventually
succeed. Disney holding the rights is the reason that it has been
released in England, France, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, Argentina and
the Netherlands. The only barrier for the U.S. is Eisner.

Eisner has hand-picked his successor from a pool of willing yes-men. You
see any differences in the corporation anytime soon. Roy Disney has been
forced off the board and his only interaction with the organization is
as a disgruntled stockholder. He has no power there and very little sway
with the remaining members. He's treated as a joke.

Well, I don't know any of these characters as well I would like. But it
does seem to me that Roy Disney has been promising everything to everybody.
And he has encouraged people in their blaming everything little thing wrong
on Eisner. As far as Song of the South, I think they've had problems with
this before Eisner came along.

Most people think the film was never released on home video in the United
States. But it was. In the early days of the VCR it was released as a
rental. I've seen old brochures that advertised it. It did'nt stay on the
market very long though, obviously. That was before Eisner's time.

Who really knows what's going on inside the mouse house? Maybe after Eisner
leaves they'll release maybe they won't. But I think blaming Eisner for
everything is like blaming George Bush for everything. I don't like George
Bush, but I'm not going to blame him for the shortage of the flu vaccine.
Everything else. But not the flu vaccine ;o)
