Classic British films on super 8mm for sale

[Winbert Hutahaean]

Hi all,

A long time fellow collector in NZ was going to retire. I may no need to mention his name, but you can follow the thread somewhere. All his films were sold to me with my previous intention was to study them as some of them were very rare.

However due to the high shipping cost from NZ to Canada my place now (mind you they are almost 15 kg) if I send them in one hit, I therefore have decided to sell them to collectors separately through Ebay. By this way they can be sent through a small packet that the cost is very reasonable through NZ Post.

Here they are with the link to the listings respectively:

When Comedy Was King (4 x 400', B/W, Sound Rare!

39 Steps (4 x 400', B/W, Sound)

Sailor Beware! (4 x 400', B/W, Sound) Ultra RARE !
The Chiltern Hundreds Ultra RARE !
Up in the World (5 x 400', B/W, Sound) RARE !
Above us the Waves (4 x 400', B/W, Sound) RARE !
Band Waggon (4 x 400', B/W, Sound) Ultra RARE !
Oh, Mr Porter! (4 x 400', B/W, Sound)
The Love Match (4 x 400', B/W, Sound) Ultra RARE !
The Water Babies (1 x 600', Col, Sound)

 

Those with RARE ! sign is based on my search on several 8mm forum I join and the result was either zero discussion or only few.

The owner told me that those films were mostly spooled on Elmo 800' plastic reels which for the reel only has cost now $15-20/each. Some full features are on 2 * 800' so you know what the advantage and discount you have by buying these lots.

The second benefit is that NZ post uses real weigh cost.So there is no rounding up the weight. This means 1.49kg will have only slightly different cost with 1.51 kg which in most post offices will not be the case. Many post offices use the multiple of 500 grams. Having this you pay only what you buy. No need to pay for NZ empty air sent to your country !

Last but not least, these films will be offered one time only because if they are no bidders as my stay in Canada will finish this June, they will be sent to Indonesia (closer) my home country.

Bid now so you will not loose your chance. Even if you are outbid, you still have the chance to get it as I will use second chance offer should the winner fail to pay within the time limit.

Good luck!
