I have been told by several collectors who will remain confidential that there are negative rumors and scuttlebutt being spread about me on both sides of the pond. This appears to have started about two years ago. About two years ago, I was challenged on two other forums by a member implying that I was not a real film collector, but instead only a "greedy eBay seller". Also about the same time, another person who was a friend of this poster did a couple of film purchases from two reputable film collectors. This person claimed that one of his purchases did not arrive, and that another transaction in the same time frame ended up in a tangled web of unfactual happenings. I have challenged this person on two other forums regarding the true facts about the transaction. I challenged him only because he brought up the subject. On one forum, I was advised to "not challenge him". The other forum did let me follow through with presentation of the true happenings. This leads me to believe that most of the rumors and scuttlebutt started with these two persons.
My wife and I have been collecting film since the early 1990's. I have been involved with home film projecting since the 1970's. My sales on eBay since 2001 exceed 7,000 with 100% Positive Feedback. If someone wants to return a film, there are not questions asked, and a refund is given. It is the same with private sales.
My personal collection includes Std 8MM, Super 8MM, and 16MM. It is an average size collection with an eclectic mix of titles, subjects, and features. We have a home cinema. Once a year I project films for the Laurel & Hardy Museum for their annual festival - at no cost.
I started this forum as a service for the collecting community that is unique because of the added features:
Several Link buttons at the top of each page that provide information. There is no charge for entering your information on these links.
There are no forum rules, except be courteous.
There are no insulting rules upon registration, which is User activated.
Moderating is done with respect and courtesy.
This forum was created solely by me. I programmed it, designed it, added special features from the basic phbb template. I run danajerrye.com, 8MM Forum Worldwide.com, and some of my eBay selling tools all from the same host provider for $10 per month.
I noticed that most of my members are posters rather than readers, but only a few actually post here.
If anyone has any negative information about me, I am really easy to talk with, so send me a PM or an email, and let's clear this crap up. Or if you wish, post it here on the forum.
Hope to settle this once and for all,
Dan
