Some things sell just fine on craigslist -- like enlargers, cameras and bathtubs -- but for other more obscure items there's ebay. I was always slightly wary and even though I've been registered for 5 years I've never bought or sold anything. How weird is that.
So I thought I'd finally try it out with some old film (really old film -- those 7 rolls of VPS expired in 1984!) because I love that people can be so in to the mystery of what will happen... nothing can be relied on, and they'll either be hugely excited or disappointed when they get the film back from the lab. The Polaroid will be much more immediate of course, but with only 10 shots you gotta make the most of them.
With 4 more days to go, the VPS is at $20.50 and the Polaroid $31.00... I think it's kind of hilarious, but then I'm thankful that ebay exists because someday I'm sure I'll be wanting something photo related that's completely obsolete and will gladly over-pay for it.
