Plenty of Kodachrome. But never any cheap B/W S8 film. Why?

I've seen it a few times as giveaways included in color reversal stock auctions.

If you really wanted film why chance it and wind up getting a short end or a film that has been under who knows what condition as opposed to new film.
price? not worth it.

Hi,
got one cart of Plus-X and one of Tri-X recently on eBay for 25$ incl. shipping. Good opportunities happen not frequently, and you will probably have to wait to get rolls that are cheaper than somewhere else.
