I've purchased brand new Castle Films and Columbia,and I can't
recall shrink wrapping,and this was in the '70s.The prints were
all loose lid if I remember correctly.

Crazy prices on ebay. I have bought a film magazine for £1 + post £2.50 total for a mag that cost 2/6 I think that would be 12.5 pence today's money.

Osi asks where these bidders are when he needs them, I would
suggest on medication or in a secure wing of an institution.
