You see these from time to time.. Thing is, they usually say "I know nothing about photography" but all these packs quite clearly state "LIGHT SENSITIVE MATERIAL - OPEN ONLY IN A PHOTOGRAPHIC DARKROOM" or something similar...
They may know nothing about photography but presumably they can READ? |

Perhaps it will save on pre-flashing

I may have been lucky but this kind of thing seems mercifully rare on the UK e-bay. The sellers are usually those who know what darkroom paper is and clearly describe it as such. Often the sellers are trad darkroom photography students. Of course you still take a chance that "opened in safelight conditions only" is either true or that they know that the safelight was safe.
My impression rightly or wrongly from reperts on another website is that either the UK e-bay on photography is either sounder than the U.S. or that the buyers and sellersthere are inherently less knowledgeable. My gut instinct is that the U.K e-bay is in general "more honest" in the broadest sense of the word. Mike |

On a similar vane, years ago I was in Jessops in Newbury and chatting to the sales guy, he told me that they had just had two students from the local college in who each paid half for a 100 sheet box of 8x10 RC paper. They walked out the door and stopped. Opened the box and counted out 50 sheets each and walked off in opposite directions.
