Some of you may have seen my review and comments regarding my copy of Another 48 hours on the other forum.

This chap was the seller and being perfectly honest with you, when i first viewed it i was not so happy & was not expecting too much to fall back on being an ebay sale. I did buy it only on the description of "good used condition" & no screen shots.

After the first viewing my thoughts were to try and message the seller with a view of returning it due to the green lines on reel two or perhaps ask if i could get some of the money back to reflect the damage to reel two. I really do like this film so if possible i wanted to keep it but if i couldn't get any cash back it would have to go.
Well, i am pleased to say i was pleasantly surprised, this seller answered all my questions within a few minutes of each email and was very apologetic and our e-mails were very good natured.
The final result was that today i did indeed receive a partial refund which makes this particular title more than a bargain so i think it only fair to put up something positive as we always hear of the bad sellers and deals on ebay.
I did ask if he would mind me putting this up and i also agreed i would not mention sums involved but i am more than pleased with his pleasant exchanges and generosity regarding my problems with reel two.
Rarely do we mention sellers where things do get sorted and unexpectedly so, therefore, i have to take the seller as i find him & on this occasion i have to say he has been very genuine and also on this deal, more than fair.

Here are some screen shots from the print and the first two are from reel 1, images 3, 4 and 5 are from reel two which show the varying damage, images 6, 7 and 8 are from reel three. Reels 1 and 3 are pretty much first class but reel two does suffer with emulsion lines. The quality of the print is stunning and the sound is of the best i have heard on 16 so far. Great action all the way.

If one is a regular surfer of the 16mm and super 8 films on Ebay UK one cannot fail to notice this seller as they are constantly making a variety of different films available for purchase.

My only criticism is that their starting prices in most cases are a little steep.

Just checked this seller.
Not much in the way of description of films. One 16mm film just had six photographs of 3 Cyldon spools of the film plus two ads.
