I can personally vouch for how great of a seller Steve is. Honestly, I have never met a more generous Super 8mm seller. It's almost embarassing how generous he is. Whenever I buy from him, he also throws in freebies, and thier always better than I expect. Heck, he doesn't even have to send freebies, but he does.

That, and he even cleans his prints with "Film-Guard", so the prints are already ready to screen!

I know many a seller, (professional and otherwise)and most are very good about thier business , but Steve really excells them all!

Gentlemen , thank you for your replies . I find it very difficult to deal with this gentleman,after many tries in the month of July he finaly returned my phone call on the first of August. I ordered film guard from him ,he said it would be deliverd in seven to ten days by UPS, he got the money but I have not received the FG and he does not return my calls.

Hi Alex don`t worry Steve is a top bloke you`ll be OK, he is as mentioned very busy but a total star when it comes to dealing and service etc as mentioned, hes just snowed under at the moment. I`m sure its on its way by now.
Best wishes Mark.

I can vouch for Steve as well. I am sure you will be fine. It definitely takes him a long time to reply via phone but if you leave an order on his phone line you will get your order quicker than you can blink! And he also throws in Freebies which is great.
Great member of the Super 8 Community!

Hi guys.

Alex....ask Steve about customs at the border. That could very well be the delay of your order. In this case it's out of Steve's hands. I can ditto everything that has been said here about Steve. Be patient and stay tuned. I know you want the product. Steve's the man!!!

Thanks once again for your replies re Steve Osborne.Chip that is the problem I can not ask him any questions as he will not return my calls or reply to my e-mails,Had he given me a tracking number for UPS I could have made some inquiries from this end but without a tracking number I can only try to get back to him . Any way hope you all have a nice weekend Thanks Alex.

Alex,

Steve is a very reliable source and an honest guy. His only real problem is that his handwriting is bad. Your FilmGuard order would've been shipped the day you placed your order, but I couldn't read it and it took until today to get a clear fax. (FYI The order has shipped.)

I once saw Steve wrestle a Grizzly bear over a print of "Coffy" and he won.

Now the grizzly treats his sold films with film guard.
