Never get angry with them in case you give them what a sociologist and others of that ilk call reinforcement. But similarly, punching them in the face would give me and others of my ilk what we call "immense satisfaction". ;D

I was just looking at the ioffer listing for the chap colin who left feedback for the seller of the missing episode, saying the films were in good condition. If he said he recived them, then the seller probably did have Knight of Jaffa !! We have to contact the guy who purchased the film as fast as possible.

I was just wondering though if since the guy actually recived the film print listed from the seller, could'nt it be possible that if he listed a film that he did indeed have, that he could of actually had a copy of Knight of Jaffa? Also when he listed an episode of the wheel in space on 35mm film, that was stated as being very unlikely, could this of meant that the seller had a genuine missing episode, or is just another cruel hoaxer? If an member or guest would like to reply, that would be greatlty appreciated.
Thanks,Lance.

where does it say he has a 35 mm Wheel in Space episode? I would be interested in bidding on that.

Guest,
He ststed that he had episode three of Wheel In Space on 35mm film, he later posted on his Day of Darkness listing that he has made a deal to sell all of his other remaining episodes. In otherwords, it has been sold alwready,sorry.
Lance.

The problem with that of course being the fact that Episode 3 of The Wheel in Space was never transferred onto 35mm in the first place...

Thinking about it, on top of that, there's also the incorrect spelling of William Hartnell's name and the apparent lack of knowledge that the episodes listed are not stand-a-lone episodes (re: the bit about not having the other episodes of The Wheel in Space). In my opinion, this all adds up to trying too hard to convince that he's ignorant about missing episodes.

Yeah, ben is probably right that mis-spelling and no more wheel in space episodes Just tells the experts and fans that there is another hoaxer to steer clear of. But anyway I tried, and was extremely hopefull for a while. There is one aspect which does not add up to the hoax, this seller also sold an episode of the Aztecs to a member of ioffer who also lives in the uk. And he posted feedback for the seller ssying that the film print he "RECIVED" was in exellent condition. If he recived the episode he paid for, then it is possible to assume that the guy who purchased the supposed missing episode could of recived the episode, and is just afraid to post comments. We could of shot ourselvs in the foot, letting an missing episode just float away is more embarassing than finding another hoax. I guess there is now a slim chance of this not being a hoax after all. Just something to think about. Other fans here might think about searching up international internet classifieds and posting sililar adds for missing episodes as I did, this may be a hoax, but someone alse might get lucky. The more of us there are posting internet adds for missing episodes and contacting foreign film collectors or television archives, the greater the chance is that we may actually find some missing material. Any thoughts or information would be great.
Thanks,Lance.

I know this is obvious, but has anyone contacted the buyer rather than the seller?

Richard Could be one of those Pirated copies from the Archive. Although I have never heard of 35mm copies being struck, I have heard of an 8mm Pirate copy of wheel 3 is in private hands, who ever copied the episodes could have struck 35mm as well as 8mm copies I suppose.

I would say it would be extremely unlikely that anyone would make a 35mm blow up from a 16mm source like that. Why bother? The picture quality wouldn't be much better than a 16mm print (since the source was 16mm) and the cost would be a lot higher than 16mm (at least back then)...
I think it's a hoax - plain and simple...
