Please check out a few auctions I currently have running through Sunday. I'll add some pics of the Scope items by Saturday.

Thanks!
Greg

Hey Greg,

Do you ship to Canada? Ebay's "Shipping and payments" tab is only allowing me to see the US rates, even though it states that shipping is available throughout North America.

Nicholas,

I bought films from Greg. Although they haven't arrived yet, but I am sure he will send to Canada. I live in Toronto, btw.

Thanks Winbert!

How much was the shipping? Do you know of any stores in Toronto that sell Super 8?

From what I've read, most of the bigger stores are in the UK, some in the US and none in Canada [Frown]

Shipping from Greg is very reasonable. I believe he can use a flat rate envelope which allow you to take 4 lb max for $12.95. Not bad, compared to our Canada post which is so expensive even within the country!

No, there is no super 8mm shop here in Canada.

I once threw the same question here and spoke to many Canadian members that they were also facing the same problem. I am here for temporary term, and will return home to Indonesia next year.

Even in Indonesia I could still get super 8mm films, but not in Canada. It is so strange for me knowing this would be the main entertainment tool before the video era. But where they have gone now?

ps: but just fyi, I once won 4 super 8mm 400' digest from Ebay and they had Richmond Hill Library stamps on all 4. So some libraries must have super8mm in their collection, but they are now somewhere hiding in the basement.

Hey Nicholas.... yes, will ship to Canada for you. Cost would range from $10 to $13 range, depending on how many reels and overall weight. What titles are you looking at specifically? I can weigh them here at the house and give you an estimate of the cost for First Class Int'l or Flat Rate.

Thanks Winbert. Package went out on the 12th, so you should have it soon.

Greg,

I was really just looking at the 400 ft Star Wars reel, and would prefer the first class shipping (that would be cheaper for just one reel, right?)

Thanks

Posted by Greg Marshall (Member # 1268) on March 17, 2012, 05:14 PM:

Looks like shipping/handling would run you around $8.50, so definitely cheaper that way than Flat Rate. Good luck!

Posted by Nicholas Cook (Member # 2973) on March 17, 2012, 08:14 PM:

Sorry, can't go any higher [Frown]

But you're guaranteed to get at least $20 now [Big Grin]

Hey Greg, fun to see that I bought some of my first digests from you over 10 years ago on eBay! Best wishes with your auctions.

Posted by Greg Marshall (Member # 1268) on March 20, 2012, 01:53 PM:

Hey Bill.... how you doing? Yeah, that would have been 1997 or 1998 or so... got out of collecting at that point. Not doing that now, just thinning out some things I don't want.

More auctions are now going, and more going on tonight, Tuesday, 3/20. All will end Sunday evening.
