Now this did make me smile when i saw this on ebay,

Werbung: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16mm-feature-...63514%7Ciid%3A1

Those of you who saw my review of my 4:1 16mm print of this same title will recall how that green line at the start annoyed me, but overall, the price i paid for a Bond film of this title was actually, probably about right,

Here we have a guy selling one with a ridiculous start price, what makes this listing absurd is the fact it states there is green lines on and off BUT, also, the last 10 minutes is missing. .
If the the missing section was all that was wrong it could be put right, but lines described could be anywhere, the description of the scratches for this price, surly needs to be a bit more accurate. Is it on all three reels, is it all the way through, how long are they on screen for.
It's made me feel even better about my own now.

Looking at the other listings the seller has, clearly, (in my opinion), he is out of touch. The way to get a higher price is start at a realistic price, no matter the title, i would start at £99. This way, as a seller, you are showing that your being fair to all, and that it is up to the buyer what they wish to pay. Who the hell puts a value of a grand on any movie?? When that becomes the norm, its time time to sell up and move onto digital.

Tom,
When I see these super high start prices, I get the feeling the seller really isn't looking to sell it, unless they can get an excessive fortune for it. In other words, they're happy to keep it unless some fool comes along that will overpay...

Another ebay thing that rubs me the wrong way: the many films which go unsold and are relisted again and again and again--always at the same price. If you don't get any takers at one starting price, wouldn't you eventually reduce the price and see if that gets you a bidder?

The thing is Greg, ebay needs to step in on this, there should be a max start price if they are going to keep offering free listings or max £1 selling fees. The idiots dont have to pay out anything so they just keep relisting. They must be a bit mental if they cant work out after months and months that relisting it isn't going to work.

This is exactly why why I stopped using Ebay and relied on independent sellers. I have had so much luck dealing one-on-one with people that I'll never go back to Ebay. I have met wonderful people who are actually honest about this hobby dealing personally with them. I even had a gent bring his wife with him to pick up a rebuilt 16mm projector and I took them both out to lunch this past summer and paid the bill just so we could talk. I don't like Ebay since they did me wrong several times with sellers that don't know what they are selling but backed the sellers rather than they buyers. I've had much more fun actually meeting the people I'm doing business with or talking and trading on a personal level.
