LOL, this is why I'd never buy film or paper on eBay.

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

Hmm, I wonder why?

Hahaha. I laughed quite hard when i scrolled down in the description. Each photo passing, I was thinking "no, he didn't...".

Thanks for this photographic humor.



I guess now it cannot qualify as "new", as it is not unopened anymore...

Sad. But funny none-the-less. We might need a separate section for these. To date we have:

o Paper as per above.
o The dSLR guy who was peeved his 35mm Nikon did not have a place for an SD card.
o The buyer who sent back a Blackbird Fly because every time she took a photograph and opened the back, there was nothing on the film.
o That model using a Diana with her finger on the film advance.
o The person who wanted to know how many Megapixellas this had:



o Add in George Bush with the caps on his binoculars, and we've got the start of something special...

Skj.

Oh dear, I think we can blame the ink-jet generation for branding their paper as 'photographic' paper.
As I scrolled down I couldn't believe it.

Another to add to the list http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-EMPTY-35-MM-FILM-POTS-/360391741022?pt=UK_Vintage_Film&hash=item53e9058e5e

P

I've noticed a few of these listings- seems people doing crafty things do actually buy them to keep bits in (admittedly the ones that sell are for many more than this at the same price)

If you buy that film, I can guarantee every picture you take will be light and airy with a very minimalist feel to it  :P
