I asked the seller about offering film again at $24.95, and he agreed to do so yesterday. I did not buy any film though.
What made you ask, and then not buy ? Seems like wasted effort.
Just got my order- proper, with the original looking packing, dated early next year. The $34.95 lots were dated 2010 expiration.
Saw these on another forum and wanted to make sure others were informed:

Enjoy!

That film is ECN-2 process - it has a 'remjet' backing which ideally needs a machine to remove - getting it off yourself is laborious and (very) messy.
Can't resist to respond. It is the same landscape if you are going to travel/live in other developing countries.
WalMart IS an American capitalism success story. I don't agree some of its employment policies, e.g. capping what a part-timer employee can earn annually even if he/she is willing to work overtime, or not paying health benefits for part-time worker. But that is the flaw of American labor law, or the fault of our pension system, not the business per se.
Having said that, if you go to WalMart overseas, products on the shelf are also considered imported, it's imported from even cheaper-labor countries. WalMart in Mexico is selling imported Fuji or Kodak films at about the same price as here in the States in dollar term, so at least they don't price-discriminate shoppers like some manufactuerers.
There are no WalMarts near where I live, in New York City. So I have to go the B&H for all my films/darkroom purchases so you should consider them an indenpendent shop. I can tell you they are not pleasant to deal with if you don't know what you are asking. Becasue they are the only one game in town, their schedule is more strict than any retail places I have been to. How can you close whole last week for Succos even though I understand it is important Jewish holiday and they can do what they see fit. So can they hire some professional management team to run on retail hours?
If you can do it better, please let someone else try. I don't think WalMart can substain this way much longer, maybe a new kid will be on the block... That's the American way.-🙂
