Where is this tradition of calling eBay an "auction site" coming from? Especially annoying to see how people stubbornly put an extra effort to type this stream of useless characters multiple times in a single post. This weido-jargon is very off-putting to newcomers and we need more people to shoot film.
eBay is by far the easiest way for new people to get into shooting film. Sorry, but your favorite "used gear store" has no inventory, mediocre 14-day return policy (not enough to shoot and develop a roll for people who rely on labs) and no actual photos of items they sell.
