TT has a very nice transfer of what is an addictive movie for me too.

I believe they updated their "Going Fast" page:

Cutter's Way
Eye of the Needle
Gun Fury
Peyton Place

Now also includes:

Black Widow
Born Free

Wish I understand what their rationale was on deciding on that list. Only Black Widow appears to be under 100 copies

It’s a soap opera epic and Franz Waxman’s score is superb. Probably one of my favorite TT releases.

Signal One have become the Mary Celeste of boutique labels, still waiting for any news on Nightmare Alley!

Oops I just bought both in the last month, oh well only cost me about a fiver each.

Which BLACK WIDOW? Ginger Rogers? Theresa Russell?

Yeah, I picked up The Horror of the Waxworks - sorry, the German Blood and Sand release - in that Koch multibuy promotion as well. Still, the other titles were okay.

Just a heads up...this is the Twilight Time thread. No worries, I've made the same mistake myself

Well, color me embarrassed! Thank you for being so gracious!

Is The Egyptian TT's most expensive OOP title? I can't find it on EBAY and two people are selling it on Amazon for $250!

If you keep a running search going on eBay for The Egyptian, you can find less expensive copies occasionally. Cheapest I've seen in recent months was about $70---which is still a heck of a lot, though nothing like $250! And then occasionally on eBay you'll find someone selling illegal copies of the TT disc for about $20 or $30, but of course such a practice is not to be encouraged....

70$ used or new? I remember seeing used copies for about 150$, and could swear the price on Amazon for a new copy went up to 500$! If so, guess the scalpers overestimated how much anyone would be willing to pay for these, and eventually brought it down to a slightly less insane price.

Well, I was holding off on my Twilight Time sale order, waiting to see how much I was going to spend on the Warner Archive sale. Turns out nothing because WBShop canceled the sale due COVID-19 shutdown. Having missed out on that sale completely, I quickly pulled the trigger on the following order from SAE:

Be safe everyone!

The last $70 sale was for a used copy. Though frankly, I would say the difference between a new blu-ray and one that has only been played a couple of times is negligible; I would imagine that anyone looking for the film would be happy with a used copy.

As for me, I wouldn't mind having a copy of "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" (not sure just when the TT version went out of print, but I don't remember ever passing it up in a sale). And the disc is usually listed at over $100; currently the cheapest one on eBay is about $65, which is still just too much for me. (At this time, anyway... maybe someday?)

It sold out on 2016 10 12.

I got both Love is a Many-Splendored Thing and Leave Her to Heaven, new, off Amazon for 90€ and 140€ each almost two years ago. Haven't been getting as many OOP Twilight Time titles lately, but I'm hoping to get at least the FOX titles I want, since they might sink into Disney apathy limbo.

If you have a region free player, I just noticed one on Ebay from Finland. The guy is only asking $18.95 US. I assume it has English on it.

I should have added this;

Looks like it's this one which has English audio but no English subtitles:
