OT: Always use a calculator!

[Goodyear]

Ebay can be a handy place to find cheap (often slightly expired) film.

5 rolls of Neopan 400 in 120, BIN for £13.99, plus £1.99 p&p, exp. May 04.

My thoguht process runs like this:

"Hmm. That's about 1.60 a roll, I normally pay 2 to 2.50. Great!"

BIN button hit, Paypal payment made. An hour later I'm thinking., "Hang on. 5 rolls, that's 3 quid and something a roll. I divided by ten. Gaah!"

So, I have some extra-special expensive expired Neopan on the way. I am a dumbass.

Always use a calculator. :bang:

What you can do is to put them into your fridge for 3-6 months and then relist it on the eBouy.

The other solution is to think twice before pressing the shutter release button while using that film.

Or, TWO shots on each frame! 😀

or you can save money by not getting it developed

Did you mean double exposures, or was this an excuse for more GAS (getting a half-frame camera)...

Nice to see you getting into the spirit(s) of things around here! 😀
I actually meant double exposures but the half frame idea is even better, I think!

We all make mistakes! Be thankful it was for so small a charge!

When I see these things on ebay, I often ask myself: "who would pay that for that?" Now I know.
