I wonder why nobody bid on it.

Classic! What a dud!

That's really brightened my day up!

How did you find that Leon? By searching sellers' names for "Terry F*ckwit"?

gothamtomato · « **Reply #3 on:** June 16, 2011, 12:57:22 PM »

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

O.M.G

he has reduced it to fancy copier paper in a box rather than a wrapper !

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

Hmm, I wonder why?

Thom Stone · « **Reply #10 on:** June 16, 2011, 08:09:45 PM »

haha dufus!

I tried to view this on my phone earlier and didnt get the joke as I couldnt see the full listing and all the pictures.

but all that paper wasted! brings a tear to my eye

Only thing I can guarantee is that the buyer will get very rich blacks

johann · « **Reply #12 on:** June 16, 2011, 10:16:20 PM »

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...

Francois · « **Reply #13 on:** June 16, 2011, 10:52:09 PM »

He probably knows there are only 6 sheets missing because he counted all of them at dinner time on the kitchen table...

Brilliant. What a nice end to the day.

Amazing innit?
Someone must have emailed him to tell the tragic news...and I wish I was a little fly to see it

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2011, 12:29:36 AM »

Yep, that would have been quite a moment.

Here's a couple more spotted by some eagle eyed FADU forum members

Thanks for that Paul--it's good to know that not all of them are this side of the pond!

LT · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2011, 10:38:39 AM »

it happens with quite a regularity I'm sad to say.

euge... · « **Reply #20 on:** June 17, 2011, 11:43:33 AM »

To be fair to the last bloke,he did list the paper as 'used'.

Skorj · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2011, 12:13:38 PM »

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.

These guys need to get together and start there own forum... 'Paperwasters' maybe?

Wowzers! Not much use for it now. Reminds me of this one time, at an airshow.....

Absolute classic. I had no idea what you were all on about and then I scrolled down. Fool!

Photo_Utopia · « **Reply #29 on:** September 12, 2011, 08:45:25 AM »

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.

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)

Ouch...
Talk about pre-flashed paper, huh?
... or pre-burned...

Francois · « **Reply #39 on:** September 14, 2011, 03:35:53 PM »

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