Hi been thinking about this for a while.

I thought it would be nice to offer a free films exchange.

Faded or unwanted prints etc. Just for post and then to be passed on again.Got some cheap or free etc.Spread the fun. Strictly no flogging on or selling for the reels please etc please. Good will allround etc.

Take out the money honey if you will from the equation.

No profit. Just good will.Half the fun in the hobby is bits in the post anyway. Get digging a few bits out.

Wish I had more to add but low at the moment.

I suppose country specific makes sense.

1st one I would like to offer is.

Your Darn Tooting 400 feet silent Blackhawk. Very nice order. generic box. free to then pass on, and please do then re offer it. £1.60 post cost.

Best Mark.

Anyone anything else.

It was David W`s real kindness on some free 400 reels really got me thinking again.

Hi Mark,
Sorry to dampen your post but this is a forum with film collectors on, say they got a freebie and liked it, why would they offer it again If it was a title they didn't have? Just a thought??

Now if your offering a freebie with no clauses then that's a nice gesture, Mark

Hi Mark I thought we must all have bits on the shelves that could move along in a free hobby way.

Get some of the flash the cash out of things a little.

The L+H is free to watch and pass along to anyone and hope to add a few more.

A lot of people buy bundles etc.

Must be some faded or half OK bits about.

Best Mark.

I have loads of films that I'm not too interested in any longer, many that were purchased at the outset of returning to the hobby, many that came with the machines I have subsequently purchased.
When I'm next at the lock up, I will have a look around and see if I can compile something of a brief list.
Most will either have faults or be in a language other than English, but if anyone is willing to pay the P&P and they are willing to allow me to post them in my own time, based on my current heavy work load, then they're welcome to any I list.

This would also be of some use to myself as it would allow me to free up some space for subsequent purchases without buying any more racking.

"Speed" will not now sadly be among them though!😂😂

Keep me in mind, Andrew! If it's a deired title, i would be more than happy to pay for the shipping to the U.S. ...

... and nice topic to start, Mark! [Smile]

There you go, exactly as i said the films wouldn't be passed back on so just offer any films free with no clause, maybe change the thread to just read free films, I'd go along with that and would make more sense, Mark
