In my continuous digging through my film freezer/fridge I found that I had 6 unopened packs of 665 polaroid exp 2004 and 1 of which is still in the unopened box.
All same emulsion.

This has been continuously refrigerated. Not frozen as I think freezing might burst the developer pack. I can not confirm if this stuff works,
Those of you with experience in expired polaroid might know better. I see on eBay that 7 boxes of this is being offered for $900, $128 a pack!
Plus there are a total of 5 coater tubes, 1 in the sealed box and 4 in another, separate box.

I'm looking for $50 a pack, $300 plus shipping.

Just a reminder that the boxes include vials of coater. That's why the 665 boxes are longer than the film packs they hold. Without coating the prints will fade in a few hours to a few days.

That's not an issue since I have 4 coater tubes that come with the film.

The thing that many people find most valuable about 665 polaroid is that it produces a high quality, fine grain negative that can be enlarged.

The negative is 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 if you use a Polaroid 180, 190 or 195 camera, or on a 4x5 camera using a polaroid 405 instant film pack holder, smaller if used on a MF camera with a polaroid back.

I have about 10,000,000 of those tubes floating around. They always gave more than you needed in boxes of Polaroid 55 (same as 665, but in 4x5). It doesn't go bad or dry out, so long as the tube is closed. If someone ends up needing some I'd send it free + shipping.

As for freezing, Polaroid said not to but I didn't know that so I froze many boxes of types55 ,665, 59, 669 and more for many years and recently decided to see if any was still good so I opened some of each. I found the 665 and 55 still good but not so sure about the color.
