This must qualify for the "Shortest Feature Film Ever".

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JOE-90-SUPER-8MM-FEATURE-FILM-RARE_W0QQitemZ150292067514QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item150292067514&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A10%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0 .m14

A whole 30 minute episode of Joe 90 on 50ft of Super 8mm. That's some feat if it could be done! A classic case of "little or no knowledge" of the product being sold.

I did send a note to the seller of Joe90 mentioning that 50ft of film was not going to go far, let alone 30mins or more, and that a change of description was in order.
Wouldn't want a Super-8 newcomer to believe this and pay for it.

Great minds think alike Claus. I also did exactly that, for the very same reason.

Looks like he listened to you - the auction has been pulled due to an error in the listing.
