The thing is John, here in the UK and from what I see of it, the same in the U.S., some of the most unusual and sought after titles on Super 8mm DO at times, still show up on ebay. This isn't at all surprising seeing as most of our dealers now here seldom if ever, have any A listed Super 8mm feature titles.
While ever this remains the case, there is little to no other choice as to where else you may shop for such items unless you know all of the collectors personally who may be looking to offload at a time that is right for both seller and buyer.
Ebay can be risky, but if the right data is submitted or the right questions are asked at the time of sale, then there isn't too much risk over and above other means of buying films now.
Buying blind at boot sales, flea markets and charity shops etc etc, is by far more risky.
If the dealers were to pay more and expect a far less margin of profit, I am certain things would look very different and this would benefit buyers and sellers alike of such items.
You would then begin to build up old fashioned relationships etc between dealer and customer again, just like we used to have.
