I'm trying something different, I'm going to list a few titles that will be available ONLY to this forum members until the end of the month (September), they are not on my new lists (which have been sent to the printers, today!), so you can have first go at them.

Psycho - 400' B/W Sound Condition B+ OB £35
Hitchcock's masterpiece thriller, here in a well edited Universal 8 release

Pen Point Percussion - 200' B/W Sound Condition B+ OB £25
Rare 1951 documentary looking at the work of experimental sound for film creator Norman McClaren, it shows how he created different sound effects

The Dancing Fool - 200' B/W (Sepia Print) Sound Condition B+/B £25
Rare 1932 Betty Boop cartoon

Paramount News No.1 - 200' B/W Sound Condition B+ £20
This comes from 1946, and some of the stories are : The Royal Navy lends France a Carrier - The Millionth Car made at Ford's Dagenham - Backwards and Forwards car + more

Fire, Wind & Flood - 200' B/W Sound Condition B+/B £20
Robert Youngson documentary on natural disasters, from his 'Forces of Nature' series (1955)

Just 5 titles to begin with, postage at cost will be added at the time of purchase, I hope you like my idea, but I thought I might try something different for a change.

Payment by Cheque (U.K.) or Credit/Debit Card is acceptable.

Let me know what you think!

This is excellent ... Hope you do this at a later stage too, as most of my money will go to the Nordic event next week. Absolutely superb and I thank you for this effort

I meant to say, you can contact me via the forum, or direct at indi8films@aol.com .

The Paramount Newsreels are interesting, I have that one, originally by Derann

If I have money left after Nordic, I might consider that Betty Boop, as I don't have any at all of those.

Barry a great idea. You are a Film-God.

Let's hope we can help him by buying. I must wait until after Nordic myself, sadly

Just to let you know "Psycho" has now been SOLD.

Please post your new film list on here Barry just as soon as its available.
I look forward to seeing any new features you may have.

I'll post a link once they are available (about Thursday next week, or sooner if I can).

I thought I'd let you know that there may be a slight delay in displaying my new lists on the forum, as my printer is off sick, and as it's only a small 2 man printer operation it's gonna take a little longer for me to get the paper booklets out, and i can't put up the internet lists till these are dispatched, they are paying for them after all, so I have to be fare to those who subscribe to my lists.

I've had a word with my printers, and he said he'd try and get them done for tomorrow, but the partner that will be printing them up usually only works on the graphic design side of their business, and he's got to re-learn how to use the printers, so I'll cross my fingers (at least!).

Thanks for letting us know Barry.

I've had an email this morning from my printers, the booklets are ready for collection on Monday, so they'll be in the post on Monday, so hopefully I'll put the link on here on Tuesday.

Only 5 DAYS LEFT on these titles, let me know if anyone is interested.

I would love to have that Betty Boop cartoon. But shipping on one title makes it very expensive. Can we agree on me getting this and I'll check your list to find a couple of more?

Dear Vidar,

Yes that's OK with me.

So the Betty Boop cartoon is now SOLD.

The offer on those five titles has now finished, 2 out of 5 sold.

I'm not sure if to try it again, if I do why not give me an idea on what type of film and length you'd like me to list as an exclusive, as I'm just guessing myself, any ideas will be taken on board.

I like to think if we are to be offered exclusives on here Barry to promote both your own business as well as the actual unique Film Forum Vidar has masterminded here with Roberts help, then we may be offered some of your "New In" features and Top titles in any gauge first.

This would be very apt for a digital free fan based zone where you could be assured your top titles would be enjoyed and preserved by true FILM loving collectors!

Perhaps if we got an insight first to any Top Titles you may come across a few days in advance of the booklet it would allow the guys on here to be among the first in the queue so to speak along with your regular customers as of course is how it should be.

Vidar has made sections of the forum exclusive for members only on here regarding film sales and auctions. Perhaps we could have private one solely dedicated to your business Barry simply entitled "Independant Eight Exclusives"

This may also improve your sales Barry on here by having the easiest and most versatile method of any forum to be able to upload screen shots for the films that may be offered by you. It takes all the subjective grading dilemna away from you and ensures pretty much whoever buys your prints will more than likely be most satisfied with them.

It is screen shots above all else that really does sell a film in this era I find.

I appreciate the offer you have made to us, but for me, the titles might have been unfamiliar. I think Tom & Jerry, Flintstones and such would be of more interest. How about mixing up some 200' and 400' of more known titles?

Sent you a PM too Barry

Andrew, the Auctions is open, just want people to see. Might be someone registering if they want to bid. The For sale/trade/want is closed to members now, hope Ole think this is better, if he ever decides to come back (crossing my fingers)

Thats fine Vidar but if Barry likes the ideas suggested above we could give him a place on here just for members to access if everyone likes the idea?

Yes, if he wants, that's fine. Everything that gets films moving around a bit is good :-)

Let's hear what Barry thinks

The 5 films I listed here were not included in my latest lists, so they were exclusive to this forum. I'm sorry but not got a digital camera, so screen schots will not be available, but I try and give as accurate a description on each title, and remember I always give refunds if not satisfied (I've always done that, not something new on my part). As I mentioned in my article in Film Collector I will not pay the silly prices for the big Derann features (unless I get some in a big collection) that some collectors are asking for, so I concentrate on the older features and specialise more in shorter subjects.

I'll sort some more titles out tomorrow and see how things go.

Ok thanks Barry.
