Howl 1/24 Frame Hits 26,500 Yen On Yahoo
Date: 11/17/2005
With the much anticipated DVD release of Studio Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle hitting retail in Japan this week, the resale value of one of the limited edition extras sold with some sets has been fetching a rather high resale value at auction. The item happens to be the '1/24 second' single frame of 35 mm film actually presented in theaters, sealed in a transparent block (size: 65x55x16mm). The frame is randomely selected from 15,000 frames. Originally selling at 8,925 Yen with the DVD, the frame extras alone have brought in as high a bid as 26,500 Yen on Yahoo Auctions as of this posting.
