I don't see any scotch on your list.
Sorry my friend, you were cheated...

 

[Don Mills]

Yes, I agree. Without the scotch it will not all come together!

 

[zenrhino]

I think sepia toner would taste better than any Scotch.

Now if they added in a bottle of a nice Bourbon...

But either way, you made out like a bandit!

 

[Stephanie Brim]

Bandit indeed. I wish I could find an auction like that.

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

"Hustler Rapid Bath"? I don't want to know what you mean by "scored."

The real find in there is the box of Ektalure. Use it wisely.

 

[Stephanie Brim]

I was actually curious about that. What is it?

 

[mikebarger]

Purplewave has darkroom items from time to time. Did you see what the sink went for?

[Stephanie Brim]

Oh yeah...and be sure to PM me with any offers of what you don't need...especially the negative sheets and the cannisters.

(Kidding. Kinda.)

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

I hunted around, and apparently "Hustler Rapid Bath" is a kind of hypo clearing agent. I guess it's a real marketing challenge to make hypo clearing agent sound sexy.

 

[jstraw]

The sink was a temptation. I hope it didn't go cheap. I'll know tomorrow.

 

[Black Dog]

Uh, here in Blighty, 'score' means something quite, er, different

 

[jstraw]

Ack! That sink was taken by the $60 Internet bid.

Stephanie,

If you are asking about Ektalure K, it was a really beautiful warm tone paper from Kodak. The "K" surface was their eggshell surface, I believe. I had a pack once and hated the surface, but I guess it was great for portraits to break up all those details!
