Chad, I discovered this one early and watched it until the end. I put a max bid on it of $307.50. It ended up going for $312.50.
I have an eBay app on my iPhone and I get a notification when the bidding is in it s last minutes. Unfortunately I got the notice right when I was driving through a black hole, and I could not get a fast enough connection to raise my bid before it closed.
I don't know who ended up with this. Does anyone know? I would love to guide the buyer through the process of having it digitized the right way.

1926 Gar Wood film
Hello Bill,
I'm the fella who won the film on ebay awhile back. I had it digitized and is a really nice glimpse into activities at DYC. Alot of drinking takes place during prohibition. Some sailing, some runabouts, some outboards and, AA Schantz, and Gar Wood & Orlin on the decks of Miss America 3 and 5 at dock waving off other motor boats causing wake. Also Gar waving off the camera man in fun. I added some music and plan to put it on my web site. I showed the movie during a ACBS-WWC dinner, everyone really liked it. I also picked up a movie of Gar and some of his aircraft, have seen it yet.
