What's the most rediculous lines you've heard when a dealer has been trying to sell you a cine item. We won't mention names. Here are a few:

This camera was worth the equivalent of £700 in the seventies, but you can have it for £350. (Probably worth £30)

I'll knock you 25p off this £300 feature if you'll buy it now.

At a film fair...a box on a dealer's stall maked "Two for a fiver" (16 mm films) so I took out two reels. That's £20 the dealer said...these films are worth double that.
