I have bought from Peter previously and found the original packaging to be in near perfect condition on the titles I purchased. In fact each one included the original invoice from the photo dealer and date the film was purchased. This is great history in itself.

Condition has also been excellent with the usual fade on some titles and very little on others.

Thanks David

What David means is that most of these films came from an estate auction and the owner looked after them pretty well. The filsm I am selling are surplus to my needs.

I have now reduced all films to a starting bid of just $0.50. I await the bidding frenzy!!!

Please note however that due to increased demand I have raised the buy it now price to $A780 on my 200" copy of the 1970 visit by the Pope to Australia. Even this however has a starting price of just $0.50 so somebody will pick up a bargain.

For all 22 films search on user pberrett on Ebay

cheers Peter

Hi all

I have mailed the films to the successful bidders. Please note that all films have been air mailed even though technically I was only obliged to send the films by sea mail where I had promised free shipping.

I hope everyone is happy with their purchases. If there are any problems please do not hesitate to contact me.

cheers Peter

Peter,
My patience has been rewarded. My films arrived this morning. I have not watched them yet but if the packaging is a guide line I have high expectations of the film quality. To say the least I am very satisfied so far. Tuesday was my birthday, in receiving these films you have made a 56 year old a very happy man.
Warmest regards,
Keith
P.S. I have checked the quality of films and they are excellent. One has a receipt from a shop in Melbourne dated 13.11.1976. No fade, pin sharp and the Walton 4 x 400' "Oh Mr.Porter" is in pristine condition. For £15.00 cost I am well pleased. Thanks Peter.

Hi all

I'm back from my trip to Perth and was pleased to see all the positive feedback on Ebay.

I occasionally find films at auctions I visit so I may have some more to sell in the future.

cheers peter
