What should one pay for some 5" metal reels? They seem to be a tad more expensive than I was anticipating. I bought some on eBay today and it seemed like a good deal, but I'm a neophyte and have no way to really know.

The metals reels are great for cleaning your films your probably going to pay a lot for shipping of metal reels they are nice to have a few around you can always ask on here members are always willing to help with your wants.

Cleaning is exactly the reason I got them. Not going to get much done with just one take up reel. I think I paid $40 for 15 metal reels with cans and 2 film storage cases. They look like lunchboxes with grooves in the bottom.
