Yes, I think I got one from Phil at a CHC August sale for free when buying something else, I think it was the silent "Talos" segment.

Hi all,
well...some interesting comments all told.
My final bit of 8mm that I placed for sale on this site after I tentatively dabbled back in it a year or so ago will be going to our local Hospice as will the Chinon sp330 and spare bulbs. ) I did consider..."Coming soon...to a "skip" near me.." Lol. But decided charity shop.
Whilst I still buy my music equipment on occasion from Ebay I will not sell there at all. It just seems a minefield of "greed"..I cannot be bothered with it.
It was interesting the Eumig I bought from Ebay (last year).. turned out to be junk ...but "boy" did Ebay chase that seller to refund me straight away and take the item/junk from me. Lol!
So it must be a really stressful/anxious place to sell...not for me.
Talking about he old digests...back in the day I always enjoyed a good 2x400 or a nice and full 600"...those P.M. 600's were excellent back in the day...40 years or so ago...
Cheers.
Mark

In the early days of ebay, buyers were identifiable, so once when an obscure 200' b/w Mountain silent film had sold for about £20, I sent the buyer a polite question asking why it had attracted (then) quite high bids, and received a reply referencing the distinctive box artwork. It would be interesting to be able to send such messages now, if it were possible!

Well if they are offering a million dollars for a 200ft digest I have a whole cupboard full of them in their original boxes. 😍😍😍😍😍Last edited by Mike Newell; November 10, 2021, 12:25 PM.

The point is, (as it seems to have been lost in translation), when some joker with too much money, bids something rediculously high, that signals other sellers that, "gee, I can get that much too!", and so, they have a rediculously high price, and it doesn't sell. Now, some tend to say, "Well, sooner or later, the market adjusts itself", but in the meantime, both seller and potential buyer are both inconvenienced. The seller is given the misconception that they will get an outrageously high amount, and the buyer is left in the lurch, only hoping that perhaps, someday, the market will adjust itself.
