Hi all,

Just managed to pick up the following, all in good condition:
30063 The Alarm Clock
617 Swimming Under Water
30062 Oh That Mule
30259 Popeye the Pelter

£2.99 the lot (lived nearby so no postage). Bargain!

Then got hold of:
30742 The Boat Race 1956
30292 Mickeys Redskin Roundup
30541 Saxaphoney Escape (catalog spells it Saxophony Escape)
30216 Fireman Mickey
30513 Mozzy Moments
30291 All Hands To The Pump

Films in good condition, boxes either tatty or reused from other films and relabled. Cost of these was £10 the lot, not bad price.

Well done Andy,
There are always great bargains to had, especially the 60Ft ones, and if the are fairly "common" all the better.
I have picked up many - some needed a repair or 2 but still excellent.

My best buy only cost me petrol to drive 100 miles to collect about 30 x 300ft and 8 x 600ft reels of 9.5mm - the owner was moving so being a fellow collector I was offered them!

Keep watching and collecting.
Even though I am here in New Zealand I still find bargains either in N.Z. or on e-bay buying from England.

Cheers,
Clinton.

Thanks Clinton,

Bet that 100 mile drive was a pleasant one! I wouldn't mind doing that journey in NZ! Would hate it here in Essex!
