Hello Jonathan and welcome to the forum. Your dad's link didn't work for me, so let's try this:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/greatsurplusforall/m.html?_dmd=1

It looks like he's scored a nice collection of school classroom films to sell. These typically are the at the lower value range because they're usually pretty well worn, have faded color, and have limited entertainment value.

Enjoy reading here -- we've all learned a lot from each other, and it's a fun bunch of hobbyists.

Thank you so much for fixing the link. Alot of the ones I have seen him post are school films but then there are random Science fiction ones thrown in. I agree from what I have seen you have decribed some of them right on the money.

I guess I am still shocked that a school had this many films. Seems like all they did was play films. Mind you this is coming from a younger person.

Thanks I look forward to learning from all of you.

Hi, those films are good value but it is a shame that you will only ship to the United States ......as there are 16mm collectors worldwide who will happily pay the P&P if it is a reasonable charge.

Jonathan, usually the public schools would have a central repository/library for all of their local holdings, so it wouldn't be a whole library for each individual location.

In my experience, how often we would view something depended greatly on the teacher in gradeschool, or subject in high school. So the frequency would vary from almost never to every other day. Remember, this was in the day before VCRs and tapes to play on them were common, and there were NO electronics, YouTube, or anything else. Film was king, and it was good. Some of them really looked great, too!

Especially the Dr. Seuss slasher film HOOBER-BLOOD HIGHWAY ! [Big Grin]

I couldn't resist...

But yes I loved those old educational film days, where all the cool kids were in the AV department and got to run the projectors...OK maybe they didn't consider us cool kids, but we knew that running the films was cool...

Hi Jonathan,

I'm looking for Science Fiction movies from the 1930-60's, so if your father has a list of his films, I'd be very interested in learning what you have.

My best,
Alex

I spoke with him about shipping internationally. If you email him with enought advance notice he can ship internationally it's just the cost to ship internationally .... is not cheap.

Alexander Richter
He may have a few but the problem is he posts every other day so I do not always see what he is posting. I'd take a look at the site and see what is live that day.
