https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274...Ccl...pid=1705071808 In case I've messed up the link (likely) or the item sells before you see it, here's a screen shot of the offending item - a bulk roll of film displaying itself in the full light of day with no shame whatsoever 😱😟 |

Thank you for the information everyone, maybe it is about time film and paper manufacturers put a arning label on their products. Some sellers on Ebay seriously need to display their products accurately and responsibly. The older I have become the more I believe society is becoming dumber. A girl in my son's class at school questioned her teacher why should she have to learn anything; she only has to search Google to find the answer to anything and everything.

I was also astounded, some time ago now, when I went into a Post Office and bought 10 first class stamps. The young lady behind the counter then had to use a calculator (three times!!!) to tell me how much to pay! And I remember commentating to a young friend, a long time ago now, when he told me that the school had allowed calculators to be used in a basic maths test! Maybe the young lady mentioned attended the same school? Terry S |

Thanks Molli. The clearance sale make sense given the date on the tin of Apr this year but the details suggest a date of June 2026 which at over 4 years hence would make sense for the higher priced Foma rolls
£35 for stuff just out of date by a few weeks looks pretty good. At 18 x36 rolls from 100ft this works out at less than £2. It has to be a good number of years since any b&w 200 speed film could be bought for that price Mike |

Norm, maybe I got the date reversed and it was June 2024 and not June 2026
Was this the £35 clearance price one? If so that still gives it over 2 years. I like the sellers definition of clearance Mike |

I have only just looked at the E Bay links and that reinforces my view never to buy anything off E Bay. Do these people even know what they are actually selling/buying? If they do they are taking the buyers for absolute mugs. The prices they are asking for normal B&W film makes that film anything but normal.

Yes, that is what I purchased as seen in my link, the new stock /clearance heading is confusing but the film I received has a couple of years to go before the "expire" date printed on the tin is reached.

Thanks Norm. Have you been able to use it and if so how has it turned out?
I am unsure what John is referring to as not normal but I always get worried when one of us seems to have spotted something "not normal" when it comes a film "bargain" John can you elaborate on which film you are referring to? Is it the price clearance Foma? Thanks Mike |
