Okay you guys! Several members have been complaining because Ebay does not have any competition. There are now 227 auctions in the 16mm category on Onlineauction.com. There are several sellers there. Let's make it happen.

I'm interested to see whether any UK sellers use this new auction site. Very few use the US Ebay site for their auctions as it is - can't see them now using the new site.

Michael, where do they sell their films? I guess here is one place. [Smile]

They use UK Ebay.
I'm just pointing out the fact that not many sellers in the UK chose to include their wares on US Ebay.
My experience (and it is just that) is that very many US prospective bidders are wary of the high shipping rates for prints to the US.Therefore who in the UK is going to bother using the new site??
Again I stress this is just my opinion.
