Due to health reasons, I am selling my entire collection of cine items. Films, projectors, everything.
This is available ONLY as a complete lot and is available for COLLECTION ONLY as neither my wife nor myself are physically able to lift, package etc. large items.
We live in Scotland.
There are over 200 items in various conditions, including some new. At a conservative estimate there is almost £1500.00 in total even after some prices have been knocked down.
If you would like a list of the items please reply giving your private email address and I will send you it direct rather than through the forum.
I am prepared to accept a reasonable offer but not a silly one.
No Time Wasters Please.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING

Sorry to hear of your leaving the hobby, but completely understandable bearing in mind your plight. Something we all fear ultimately.
Is your collection purely 8mm/Super8 or are there other gauges? Obviously difficult to list over 200 items here, but could you possibly condense the list so that we can get an idea of what you have. It might save having to reply to many email requests.
Alternatively maybe a telephone contact number if that wouldn't be too intrusive.

Ian,

We have a sales rule that states:

"Sale items must be listed! Do not post "PM me for a list..." The exception to this is providing a link that leads to a site that displays titles and prices (similar to Independent 8, Paul Foster or Super 8 Warehouse)."

You have a list, why not copy & paste it here? Please list the titles by this evening or the post will be deleted.

Doug

Ian
As your collection comprises of 8mm and 16mm equipment/film why not list them in the appropriate forum section headings (i.e. 8mm film, 8mm equipment, 16mm film, 16mm equipment, with prices for job lots of each section. That way it would conform to the rules and may be an easier way for you to list all items.
Doug
Surely it is acceptable to price as job lots so long as there is a list of items in that job lot - is it not?

Terry,

Absolutely! I was not suggesting that Ian has to price each item individually, merely that the items for sale in his lot need to mentioned, along with a price for the lot.

**This thread will be updated shortly.**

Before a detailed listing could be posted, an offer was made.

The sale has not yet been confirmed.
