Looking at the packaging in the photograph, I have to say that the boxes are very "Derann-like". When Derann re-sell second hand prints they are, sometimes, "repackaged" into plain white boxes, with the title and reel number written on the "end flap".
Also, not all sellers of film on E-Bay, are "collectors". he may have been in the hobby at sometime and decided to "move on". However, if he then has the opportunity to obtain a "job lot" of super 8 film, at a good price, E-bay is the "marketplace" in which to move them.
He also has good a "feedback" record. The only "negative" is nothing to do with Super 8mm.

Winbert - Have you ever been requested for "jury service"?
If you look at the feedback as a whole - buying and selling, he has a good record. I recognise quite a few "buyers and sellers" who have posted positive feedback for the seller. Some of these are Forum members (I won't reveal who, for obvious reasons).
It may be as Gian suggested, he is a "lazy" seller. If he puts a film on at that price he is obviously aware that may be all he might get for it. It all depends on what he paid and what minimum "profit margin" he is prepared to accept. All this against the amount of time it takes to fulfill all of the requirements asked for from "potential buyers" - setting up the projector, feeding the film, taking numerous digital photographs, posting them or e-mailing them out etc.
Not all sellers are as pedantic as most of us forum members. They just want to put the goods on E-Bay and sell them with a minimum amount of fuss.
After all, look on the "bright side" - he may have only paid £5.00 for the print, in the first place?
Also when you read his "lazy" desciption he may have adopted the better to "understate" the condition, rather the than "exagerate" method of selling.
PS - By the way, one of the feedback items quoted from "Vauxhallpartswarehouse" was not a super 8 film, but a Car Crankshaft Pulley.
