I love the boxes but I usually shoot expired film because it's cheap, this stuff costs more than fresh film.

I suspect it's the sheer age and scarcity of this stuff that's driving the price. Make me wonder where it's been for the last 70 years!

I would be astonished if anyone buys any of that to actually take photographs with it.

It will sit on a collector's shelf forever.

A bit sad really. Things are meant to be used.
