Robert Lee brought up a very good question ...
How to actually find all those wonderful super 8, standard 8 and 16Mm goodies found on ebay and otherwise ...
I'll re-state what advice i gave Robert here ...
The way i have always used is either one way or another ...
when it comes to ebay, i'll save in my purchased film lists, the item, so that i can click on that old auction, and on the top, it will usually list (as to where it was found) "Film Stock", then, you simplly click on that, and it will bring up on the left, all the different film stocks ebay lists, 35MM, 16MM, 8MM and Super 8MM, then you simply click those buttons on the left and WHIZ BANG!!
You're right there!
Now, make sure that you look at both "8mm" AND also "Super 8" as, one will have things listed in the one, and the other topic will have other prints not listed in the other one, so look at both of them, at least 7 days ahead, and do that once a week. it's usually about 7 or 8 pages you need to go thru (also click at the top "Ending soonest'), and it doesn't take too much time to do, once a week!
Otherwise, just type in, in that top box, "Film Stocks" and make sure in the box just to the right, that it states "all categories" as, sometimes, some films get "lost in translation", due to strange listings of them on ebay.
Now, I listed my advice ...
Do any other professional super 8/standard 8mm collectors, on this forum, have any other advice that would not only benefit Robert, but the film community entire on this forum? ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
