Examples of good and poor ways to list cine' films on eBay

[Daniel D. Teoli Jr.]

I've been looking at cine' films on eBay for 11 years. Over that time, I've looked at tens of thousands of reels. Some of them have excellent listing information. Other listings have terrible information. I call the blind eBay listings 'pig in a poke' films.

A lady from an archive wrote me a while back about some 16mm films the archive wanted to dispose of. I told her to check out eBay and the most important thing when selling on eBay...is to show the film. I didn't have these examples to show her, so I made an effort to save a few of them that I ran across. 

If you are looking to realize top dollar from eBay film sales, here are some examples of good and poor quality eBay cine' film listings.
