Expired 4x5 Slide Film Deal

[maxbloom]

I don't shoot 4x5...but I thought this looked like quite a steal if you don't mind expired film; sealed boxes of quickload Velvia 100F for $20.

Er...Drew,

You just told the world that you are asking an eBay seller to violate listing rules and sell "off line"!

If you ever see one of my listings and want to do the same - please don't announce it here!

I see nothing; I hear nothing; I know nothing.

I rarely shoot color film, so I don't know much about its keeping properties, but isn't that film a bit too old, considering that it is color and that it hasn't been refrigerated?

 

[maxbloom]

04 isn't all that old. Besides, it's Velvia. God forbid it lose a little contrast or saturation.

I'm shooting Agfa RSX-100 from 1998 that's been stored in a freezer. It is perfectly fine. I wouldn't worry about it.

George, Drew did not state he was going to buy off line! Could be he just wanted to clarify the content of the listing?
Good price anyway.
