Hi-Tom

I have noticed this trend too,I think the seller Lee's Camera's is the main culprit now and another guy who just prices things way too high,never sells a thing then re-lists them on a regular basis.

Super8 prices in general seem to have gone up but then again you can still grab a bargain purchased a mint Blazing Saddles digest a few weeks back for 0.99p!!!

Cheers Mark W

Um.....I'm not sure what the problem is with Buy-it-Now prices and long auction times????
Wheres the harm in that?

Posted by Mark Williams (Member # 794) on July 24, 2009, 12:07 PM:

My main problem is that usually the buy it now prices are unrealistic and way too high,which has a knock on effect on other sellers listing items etc.

As a seller myself I always try and be fair and realistic when it comes to priceing super 8mm.
