It's a fake listing. I did the same thing warily, hoping for the chance it was real but thinking that even if it is fake I'd get my money back.I just picked up a brick of 10 rolls of this FP3 stuff off eBay, for $10.88. That's just a little over $1 American per roll! I've never found fresh film for a cheaper price.
Point me to the nearest black market here in the Great Lake states! I need a kilo of sugar, a left boot, three spoons and a vacuum tube for my shortwave. I have a half bag of ball-bearings, a 8x8 sheet of leather and a gallbladder from my neighbors goat..
I am confused here as a result of subsequent posts When you say "picked up" do you mean that you paid $10.88 and now have in your hand 10 rolls so it wasn't fake in your case?I just picked up a brick of 10 rolls of this FP3 stuff off eBay, for $10.88.

10 packs now selling for 8.99
probably if there is a problem
paypal has no prob issuing a refund
there is a guy on LF forum who supposedly has contacts with the manufacturer. he is selling 10 roll packs for $32 plus shipping which seems much more real. ebay scams are all over the place. if its to goods to be true, it usually is.
Like I said, they are fake. Listings removed by ebay and refunded by Paypal.
The one I bought was removed the next day. 10.88 for 10 rolls, if I remember correctly.
Yep, that was my thinking too.
But actually, ebay didn't refund me automatically. A day after placing the order, I saw that it was cancelled and the posting removed (even after getting a notification that the film shipped). I checked my bank account, charge still there with no refund. So, I contacted ebay and then they refunded me. So, be sure to keep an eye on it so you don't forget that you even placed the order. I'm sure that's how the poster of the listing hoped to make their money.
I would be willing to bet Kenny doesn't have "film in hand" and it's a scam. . JohnW
Yes, now that's a pretty good deal. Not many of us shoot 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 sheet film anymore. I have a box of Efke 25 that I treat like gold. I sure miss that film, but life goes on. JohnWIn the theme of good deals though, I got a box of 50 sheets of 2.25x3.25 Arista EDU 100 film marked as "used" by Amazon Warehouse for $11. Figured it was worth the risk. I just got it today, and the seal on the box had been broken but the black bag inside had not been touched. Developed a single unexposed sheet and there was no fogging at all. This film retails for $39, so I'm pretty happy with that deal!
Well, I can see why no that many people shoot that format. It’s the hassle of sheet film without the benefits of a big 4x5 neg. Plus, there are only 4 emulsions available and they’re more expensive than shooting roll film.Yes, now that's a pretty good deal. Not many of us shoot 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 sheet film anymore.

Check the big auction site far an "adapt-a-roll 620" in 2 1/4 x 3 1/4. It will slide into your cameras spring back and with a little work you can then use roll film. They usually sell for around $30.00. I have used sheet film in old folding cameras like the Voigtlander Avus and Kodak Recomar, but now just use it with my Kodak Medalist I & II.

I started with it because but I bought a Busch Pressman with some film holders and don’t have a way to shoot any other format of film with it. But, I’m actually having a good bit of fun! I like that I can shoot one or 4 or 5 frames here and there and develop them without having to shoot a whole roll.
There's still one seller offering 10 rolls for $10.99 USD on the bay.
