Polaroid Madness

I'm just hoping whomever bought this pile can write it off as a business expense http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=13481188

Some paid this price for the 25 packs of expired, no longer produced, but likely consistent film. A stash like this would be quite rare... not that I would pay it.

But you have to think as old as it is, with unknown storage conditions, and it's going to spend at least a summertime week in an overheated UPS trailer, there's not going to be much to work with. Forget the four run-of-the-mill cameras that come with it, the buyer paid about $24 a pack, before shipping costs. That would add at least another dollar to each pack. Is this stuff selling that good to be able to make a profit on it?

At that price, I was assuming an artist bought it. As unpredictable as the results will be, at least they'll likely be consistent across the packs. That consistency is what you'd be paying for...

Actually the buyer probably wanted the J66 and will toss the 600 film...

As it turns out, the buyer never paid for the auction. It's up for sale again.
