Re: Are stereo slides worth anything ???

My apoogies for quoting back as much as I did; here's my attempt at
a BobH style one-sentence summary (it will take some practice):

Re: DrT proposes paying .10/slide for run-of-the-mill stereo slides,
selling "reject" slides for $1, requests feedback.

Hmmm.  A real head-scratcher!

I like the idea a lot DrT.  I'm not convinced the pricing is set right.
Could I buy the entire lot of rejects from your next trip to Greece
for $.10/slide, with option to accept or refuse the entire lot?  You
mention the good quality mount, which is why I am offering to pay
run-of-the-mill prices for rejects.

OK, I'm exaggerating.  The pricing issue is a difficult one.  $3 may
not sound like much, but it adds up to $60 for one roll of 5P Realist
format pairs.  Strikes me as pricey among friends, but that's just my
opinion.

And I hate to have to bring up the "c" word, but...does the price include
all rights to the image?
