For Sale FS: till 9pm tonight only! 70mm Nikor SS developing tank and reel/spiral and ...

Sad to let this go, it took me forever to find it, a beautiful 70mm Nikor stainless steel spiral and developing tank. It takes up to 15 feet (5 meters) of 70mm film.

The other home made one I had just sold on eBay and this one is going there at around 9-10 PM tonight! I just can't wait to sell it for financial reasons, but giving APUGers first dibs, and a discount, it will go to eBay for $300 buy it now and $200 starring bid price (most seem to sell for well over $300 in the bidding war) so for you guys $275 plus $12 shipping priority flat rate box. CONUS.

If it goes to eBay it can ship almost anywhere I'm told with their new international shipping program, never used it but they have some kind of deal, you ship to their main US facility and they ship group items to other countries at no extra fee (supposedly). It's new and just giving the info, so if you're international and want it shipped you can look for it on eBay tomorrow.

Anyway it must go.

Copy of original instructions included.

This is the semi-daylight dip dunk version, you can either work in a darkroom and use it as a dip dunk tank, or you can load in the dark and close the lid and use as an inversion tank only turning off the lights between baths.













I have also available 2 boxes of HP5+ 50 feet each from ilfords ULF run last year, the first time they ever ran the 70mm, one box non-per and one box perforated.

It's fresh and beautiful film, it costs a lot and not sure the run will succeed this year but I've got to get rid of stuff.

My GF is sleeping and there's not much to the box, just a white box and inside a dark bag of 50feet each box. So no picture but it exists. I have too many boxes and won't go through them all.

The non-perf is great for 116/616 re-spooling or Graflex 70mm backs for 4x5s.

The double perf is great for Hassleblad and Mamiya RB and RZ 70mm backs.

$160 for the non-perf
$210 for the double perforated

This price includes shipping, CONUS.

The price is on target with the original purchase price and only increased by a few dollars to cover paypal fees and shipping costs.

Thanks.

EDIT: to clarify that's 9 or 10 PM 2/14/2014.

Totally unrelated to the reel (which you'll have no trouble selling at that price), I personally hate that fleabay global shipping program. Instead of paying you $30 to ship the box to me, I pay $40 shipping of which $5 goes to you to ship to some jokers in kentucky, and $35 for kentucky to re-handle, skim some profit, and send it on to me. It's nice that I can get some items from people who normally only ship within the usa, but i'm paying a lot more for everything because of it. sigh. don't get me started.

I don't think sellers are required to use ebay's global shipping scam Dr. C. I certainly don't use it when I ship something. There is an option to opt out of this program.

So you're saying on the back end the buyer has to pay more anyway? It's just that the seller has an easier time shipping without the hassle?

Wow, if the Nikor 70mm stuff has gotten that pricey, it might be time to dig mine out of storage and sell them! (After yours has sold of course, don't want to compete with a fellow APUGer ;-) ) I only bought them because I was hoping the tanks would hold the Hewes 35mm long roll reels. Missed it by THAT much... And I'm never going to do actual 70mm, so no need for these.

Yeah it's funny because this stuff didn't seem too expensive I think to the original buyers, it was just common items, maybe they were little expensive but not as expensive as they are now because they are rare and the people have them and hold onto them, I was holding onto this as a backup, because I knew how hard it was and this one just came along randomly for me so I figured why not keep too, I actually had three at one point but just sold off my handmade one.

And was looking at this one and said what the heck do I need to four I only do a small amount of 70 mm these days so why not just keep one it's good enough it's stainless steel it's not going anywhere.

If you reverse "buyer" and "seller" in that statement, you've got it right. The seller doesn't have to worry about international tracking (or lack thereof) to prove delivery, but the buyer pays USA domestic shipping, international shipping, and whatever import tax/duties that Pitney Bowes (eBay's shipping agent) decides to slap onto the purchase. People are alleging that PB is charging them duty on items that should be duty-free, and there are also some questions as to whether PB is actually turning over the funds they collect to the various government agencies.

USPS has started offering inexpensive tracking on first-class packages to many countries:

I'd use this instead of eBay's GSP.

Thanks,

Yea I meant to reverse that, in my head I understood it properly at least hah!

Gone to eBay!

Back from eBay... That's right, I pulled it, there is too much confusion between mine and the 2 reel version, so I'll leave it here and wait it out till those sell (free advertising for those people, but really who needs 2 70mm reels to process at one time?!?! That's 4L of chemistry!!

Well the one guy took an offer of something-less-than-$120 for his, so it's gone now!

Yea, I wouldn't sell for that low, they cost me too much, the highest I payed for the 3 total I used to own was $365....

HELLO, Just my two cents regarding Ebay's new GSP shipping. Maybe great for the seller but the buyer is the one who has to pay through the nose. Pitney Bowes (as does UPS and FED EX) charge a brokerage fee if it is an international shipment and collect the customs duty, ignoring that there is a legal duty exemption (up to certain amount, which varies from country to country). If I have it shipped to Canada by USPS, 95% of the time it goes right through the border, no brokerage fees, no duty. The only time I get nailed, is with large value items, my 8x10 Deardorff, my 8x10 Cambo, otherwise, no extra payments other than the selling price. My reaction, when I see an item on ebay that I would like to have, is to write the seller that I would have bid IF they weren't using GSP shipping, but sorry, I don't want to pay through the nose needlessly. I have noticed that these items rarely sell. It may be great for the seller, but think of all the potential buyers out there who are not buying because of the extra surcharges.

OK, my two cents worth!

At first I was shocked when the buyer of one of my items had to pay those taxes, fees or whatever you call them, and had contacted me asking me what the deal was with that, but then I actually looked at the prices of what it would cost me to personally ship it to him directly, and it was much more than the fees that eBay were charging so you may think that it's too much, but it actually saves you money you just don't realize it maybe. Or maybe it's just better internationally and not as great when it's within the same continent? It was only like 30 bucks to ship to China for the guy, and normally that's like a $80 shipment the way I calculated it because of the box size

$180 ... It's still listed on eBay but still would prefer to sell it here.
