Occasionally I will see old store stock posted on eBay. These films are SEALED in original cellophane wrapping.
Being sealed that long is a concern but I think only depending on HOW it was stored.
I recently purchased a MOUNTAIN FILMS release DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS - was old store stock and only taken out of the wrapping to view and grade. I watched it and the color is still decent and sound great for a film that old. So I am the second person to run the film. Maybe it is the stock that Mountain Films used when producing these - I don't know.
What is everyone else's experience with purchasing SEALED films? What condition is the film in when you opened the package? Red? Pink? VS? Faded? Or just like new?
Thanks.
