OK, I was only going to do this once a week, but since we have some interest I'll post something that you should be looking for, but you won't see on a consistent basis. (maybe 6-7 times a year)

Let's first talk about instant film. The most common you will find is Polaroid 600 that has 10 pictures per pack. But it comes in several variations and a few sizes. Kodak also makes their versions too.
Something to point out is, it will always be expired as they quit making this type of film about 10 years ago. It will say on the box when it expired, so use that as a negotiating point when bargaining at the Garage Sale. Sometimes when you point out the expiration date, they will just give it to you for free. Happens a lot, even with ink cartridges. (hint-hint)
I usually pay a $1. per box when I find it. eBay price is about $25. for one box of 10 pictures.
I have actually been to sales when they have had a case of these. Also when you see a Polaroid Camera in a case, be sure and check all the pockets, I have found a lot of film that way.
If you see a instant camera at a sale...ask the person that is having the sale if they have any film for the Camera they are selling that they may have forgot to put out. Sometimes you get LUCKY! :)
So now we know: ALWAYS buy any (sealed) instant film you see, it's pure profit and easy to ship.

Since we are on this subject, I can give you a couple of tips regarding the actual instant cameras you will see, and you will see a LOT of them.
Rule #1: Buy any instant camera that is Brand New, it doesn't matter if it's a cheap model or not. But, keep the price at under $5. unless you know what you are buying.
Rule #2: Never buy a instant camera that is used (except the two I have noted below), unless you know what you are buying. I have donated several to Goodwill that I thought were worth money. (trying to keep you from making the same mistake)
Personally I only know of 2 instant cameras that have some worth:
The 1st one is the
SX-70, I try to stay under $10 when I find them, but I will pay more depending on condition and if they have the original box and paperwork. You will usually see these once or twice a year.
The SX-70 usually brings $75 to $150.
Below is the SX-70, and the 2nd picture of it is the camera folded/collapsed. I included the 2nd picture because you might see it that way at the sale, so you know what it is.

Camera #2 is the
Polaroid Big Shot. Same rules apply for this one, but these don't sell for as much. So buy it accordingly. (do your research)
