For Sale FS: Chemicals

[CollinB]

A few weeks ago I bought out an old camera store that had been in operation since the era of WWII.
But the store closed a few years ago.
In the store leftovers were some chemicals.
I don't know much of anything about them but will put you in contact with the owner of them.
Some of them are bulk, in a drum. Others are in glass jars. All seem to be 60s or 70s vintage.
If you area film developer interested in a quantity of chemicals and are willing to drive to Lima, OH,
I will put you in contact with the individual who has them for sale.
I make nothing on this. He just needs to part with them and does not wish to do any shipping.
He informed me the other day that he is creating a list of these and as such is anticipating calls on them.
So contact me and I will give you the necessary contact information.

old chemicals

Why would you put yourself in the middle, if they are outdated? Even if it's free, my time isn't nor is the film and paper I'd be using…. At the prices we are all paying (thanks to Kodak), Buy FRESH at Photographers Formulary or Artcraft Chemical, in Altamont, NY and be sure your work is as good as you want it to be…. Respectfully, Bill

I sure there would be a number of useful chemicals and at a bargain. I wish I was in the area to check them out.

Bill,
My being in the middle is only informational. The guy is not a film shooter and I don't do chemicals beyond the basics.
Not knowing what is there, some of it may be useful, particularly the stuff in jars.
But like you say, fresh is fresh, and generally better than cheap.
How useful they are is anybody's guess.

Many chemicals don't go "bad" on the timescales involved. Depends greatly on what they are. I'd be interested, very interested, if I didn't live so far away. But then again, I have an MS in organic chemistry and build a lot of my own stuff from wood scraps to save money for things I can't make (lenses, chemicals).
