The item was listed as a super 8 film but when I received it,it was not super 8 but 16mm. I guess tbe seller does not know anything about film. Anyways I made a case with ebay stating it was not as described. Seller never responded . Today I escalated the case and two hours later I get a credit from ebay.Dont know how they made judgement so fast.

The item was Telefon Charles Bronson featurette technocolor. Maybe one-day I can pick up a 16mm projector

I have found that to be true in some cases with ebay....there was an auction that listed a woody woodpecker film as 8mm aswell but the photo looked like a 16mm reel etc, so I bid on it hoping it was 16mm and it was [Smile]

Some sellers don't know what they are selling...

Yes, I did [Smile]

First I was just going to forget it then I said there was a mistake made by the seller why should I have to pay. The seller did have a 14 day money back provided I pay shipping.I did email the seller first but no reply. Then the case was opened and still no further replies.

That turned out well, then. A Technicolor 16mm print is worth more that a Super 8 one would have been, even if you can't see it yet!

I had no idea it was technocolor until I saw the sticker on the film with the official logo.Then I was excited because no fading and beautiful colors.the seller if knew about film could have gotten more money for it.
