Brought some films from them in the past. a bit slow on the replys but all their films are new old stock!

I think their prices are expensive.

They are expensive here, but especially so for you guys now with our currency so strong.

Wow! -- expensive indeed!

I'm sure the prices must explain why the still have so many new films, around 30 years after they were last printed. E.g. how often is anyone willing to spend the equivalent of £98 on a 400' of 'Change of Habit', which is almost certainly going to be faded? That's about three times the last RRP of the film.

Sealed Castle or U-8 are not be second-sided, scarce to say the least - Luckily, I bought the bulk of mine that way years back, all cellophane-sealed originally, not shrink-wrapped as lately

I agree Adrian. The really sad thing is the drop of the dollar. Currently, the UD dollar is doing so poor that where three or less years ago a 39 aussie dollar 200ft would have went for 22 US dollars, and now they are nearly sead even on value (Aussie and US).

Boy, this person certainly doesn't seem to answer his e-mails. Is this fella only a phone call kind of seller? I have questions for him but that overseas call is awful pricey.

Posted by Patrick Walsh (Member # 637) on September 23, 2011, 02:11 AM:

Yes Osi, a phone call is the only way to get a hold of him, thats how I did my deals with him, a nice guy.

Patrick ...

I tried to call them with the overseas phoine number. I thought I had it down, but it wouldn't take.

Would you still happen to have that phone number?

Did anybody else have any luck getting ahold of this business? david was nice enough to help me getting in touch with him but with no luck?

Posted by Patrick Walsh (Member # 637) on October 15, 2011, 02:15 AM:
