Want to Buy FOUND!!: Omega D5 6x4.5 negative carrier

[Old-N-Feeble]

FOUND!! I have everything an overseas buyer needs except this one carrier. I'm trying to find one at a reasonable cost to include in the package to send to him. I'll not be making any profit on this purchase. This will save him some trouble and shipping cost. FOUND!!

Depends on your definition of a reasonable price. It's probably not very helpful to point out that this was never a common carrier and to post looking for a "reasonably priced" one is likely to be an exercise in futility. Part number 423-319 6x4.5cm (2-¼"x1-5/8"). KHB has one, used, for $109.00 CAD http://store.khbphotografix.com/6x4.5-Negative-Carrier-for-Omega-D-Series-Enlargers-Used.html

Your buyer can do what I do, make a mask for the 6x6 carrier. It's dead simple, just a bit of black tape or thin matboard.

I understand... supply and demand. I intentionally used the vague term "reasonably priced" for that very reason. I would need to direct the other guy to the offer so he can decide if he wants to pay that price. As stated, I'm just trying to save the guy some shipping cost and won't be making anything on this purchase. If I can't find one, he's happy to buy the other items from me, assuming I offer him what he considers a "reasonable price".

True, and that's probably what I'd do but he may not want to do that. If he would rather make a permanent modification then I can send him a second 6x6cm carrier for cheap. In fact, I have half of a carrier he could use to cut the metal from to permanently glue into a 6x6 carrier. The only problem with it is the alignment pins are too far apart for single-cut 645 negs. I'll ask him what he wants to do.

FOUND!! No longer looking.

How do I close this thread?

Check the "Thread Tools" link at the top right.

Check the "Thread Tools" link at the top right.

I see a 'delete thread' option but no 'close thread'. I can certainly do that but I prefer to leave threads intact... though in this case it's of little or no value anyway.

Could be a glitch in the setup. A "For Sale" thread can be closed by the OP. I'll send this to Sean, via the moderators.

It's the check box near the bottom of thread tools, un-check "open". Let me know if you can't see it. Thanks

It's sort of like Windows. If you want to Stop, you need to click "Start" .
Thanks Sean for the quick response.
For clarity, I'm guessing that ONF may not see the entire list of options that Sean (aka "Super Moderator") gets to see on that list.
I've got some mini-moderator options in one sub-forum, and a bunch more things reveal themselves to me in that sub-forum than in any other forum I participate in.

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

Oh... I just uncheck the "open" option? Okay, I'll do that now.

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

I guess that worked but I can still post.
