We are in the process of examining several thousand Tru Vue films. To review the many Tru Vue items available, just click on the appropriate button on the menu on the left side of our pages.

Have you bought Tru Vue films, viewers, and storage boxes from other sellers that did not live up to your expectations? If so, we understand your feelings. We have been collecting Tru Vue films for years and have received many items that were described as "Near Mint" only to find when we received them that they were severly damaged and not viewable. When we complained about the condition of the films, the excuses we received from some of the sellers was beyond belief.

Let me assure you that each of these films was carefully unrolled and held up to the light to check for damage. Each of these films is complete and there is no damage to the sprocket holes at the top or bottom edge of the film roll. They have been viewed by previous owners and therefore have normal wear due to the way the film is pulled through the viewer. We consider them to be in very good to excellent condition and worthy of a place in your collection.

We will continue to examine more films and update the list as required.

We will do our best to keep the lists up-to-date as items are sold and as new items are added. However, please remember that some of the films on the list may be the only one we have of that particular number. If you act quickly those films can be in your collection rather than in someone else's.

You may be wondering what happens to the films that don't measure up to our standards to earn a place on our list of good to excellent films. Well, they are available for sale as well. We are putting those films in several categories: (1) Minor damage to one or two sprocket holes; (2) Major damage due to damage to many sprocket holes or perhaps broken into 2 pieces; (3) Severe damage to the film, broken into several pieces, missing frames, etc., As these items are examined and placed in the proper category, they will be listed. Many of these damaged films are priced at $2.00 or less.

Some collectors tell us they use these damaged films to repair their own films. Others say they just want an item to use as a place holder in their collection until they can find one in better condition. Still others say at these low prices they don't care about the film, they are just looking for a box for the film they already have.

If you have any questions, please send us an e-mail.

We look forward to doing business with you.
