Hello David
To make a serious offer I would need a detailed list of the cartoon titles, whether they are b/w versions of colour prints, complete / titled no VS, and if they have colour fade.
Without these details my best offer price 'taking a chance' unseen would be £185.

David, thank you for your PM - as said I am willing to increase my offer to more serious money, all I want is a list of the titles so I can make sure I am not buying titles I already have or, with respect, junk.
You don't have to project them just run them on the rewinds and have a look with a magnifying glass for titles. I would guess many others on here would also then be in a better position to bid higher.
Perhaps these films would be ideal to take to Blackpool as 'cheapies' to encourage new people to join the hobby?

So you are putting them on Ebay David - reading you first post you stated 'offers over £150 within 3 days or going onto Ebay' - you have offers over £185 so why go the Ebay route especially with their high charges?
Also are they on decent spools, Tuscan with cans, which would encourage me to offer more?

Let's hope the happy buyer sheds some light on the cartoons when received as it would be nice to know if there were some gems in there.
