Just when you think something from the past is obsolete, it shows up on eBay as a collectible. After a 74 year run, Kodachrome, the world's first commercially successful color film, was pulled by Eastman Kodak because of the the declining demand." - Time Magazine, July 6, 2009, page 17. Maybe you have some lying around your house, in boxes in the basement, or in your kitchen drawers. Here is a listing for 2 Kodachrome 64 slide film that sold for $44:
Pretty nice sale! This seller is actually a camera company based in Chicago, so who knows how much of this stuff they have in stock. I don't understand why the seller charged $8.95 to ship these items as they probably only weigh a few ounces and could be shipped for a couple of dollars. Overcharging on shipping can really bring down your DSRs, so be careful with that.
