This 'scam' was real and I got a very nice lens out of it

But the film thing is definitely a scam. Especially since we reported the exact same thing a few months ago! But forget that, this time it's different I swear!

This is strange! The link from the OP now gets a similar listing of TWO rolls, different seller with 6 negative feedbacks. ????????

Not at all:

Sorry to hear about your bad experience on RFF (it has happened to me here more than on eBay for what that is worth), but in this particular case I would think it IS relevant. It's very evident there's a problem because it is one questionable thing after another. Only 2 feedbacks despite over 150 sales, the film is marked at an unbelievably low price, and no replies to a message through eBay messaging? It has been my experience with over 20 years as an eBay buyer and seller, and with over 3,000 transactions (all positive) that a legitimate seller always replies to their messages, and no reply means no buy. Period.
I am always ready to be proved wrong though. Why don't you buy from him and tell us how it works out?
@Steve: If you mean me then I've had no bad experiences here on RFF, only on ebay.

Why would this be a scam? $15 2 rolls of this film is hella overpriced
I used to buy this stuff for $2.50 per roll. I think it's increased to $4 per roll now. Still....not a deal by any means.

The link from the OP now shows a lisitng for 10 packs of instax film for £9.99.
Although the quantity is '1', so I don't know if the y mean 1 pack of 1 film for £9.99, or 1 pack of ten films for £9.99.
The seller has 1 feedback and has sold 12 in 24 hours.
I suppose some buyers haven't left feedback yet. That's if the buyers are real!

Try checking the street prices for soon-to-be-short-dated or just-outa-date Fuji 1600!
I picked up a few rolls last time I was in the city at B&H for $9-ish and I thought that was high!

Oh the skeptics lol
44 sold - Feedback is 18,549 - view recent seller feedback does have some negatives. I'd buy a set. If it isn't legit, you'll get a 100% refund....

Might as well forget commenting on this one, as the original link has been deactivated, and you are then shown an item from a different seller than what was reported in the original posting here.

The seller now shows 3 negative feedbacks for non delivery of this film, and one negative for refusal to refund money.
