"PLEASE NOTE: All super 8 films except for Technicolor films, were produced in Eastman color which fades over time."

A statement not entirely correct, but it will be read and noted by many users of eBay.

Yeah, I commented on that one as well. the person is obviously not well acustomed to super 8. (though, in HIS personal experience, it might be true, just to give him the benefit of the doubt.)
