New toy, posting here as there isnt a film section :-(

Hi all,
So i am an avid Trip user, i love the simplicity of the camera and the images it produces. I have a 70's version with chrome button and i love it!
The other day i was wandering round a local car boot and saw a Trip box... "I bet there's no camera in there" i thought. Oh how wrong i was....
So i asked how much he wanted for the camera and he said £12. I wasn't going to argue with that so paid the man, thanked him and off i trotted.
When i got home i opened the box and was amazed to find not only the box in amazing condition but the camera, user manual, warranty information and lens cap all present and correct.

Then i looked at the camera closer...looks like a later model as it has a black shutter button but there was a thing hanging off the side of it where the wrist strap was... a film tab? erm ok... looked closer and read Kodak, 12 exposures.... Could this be....??? i looked at the shutter count on the top..... 1...

So looks like i have a mint, unused boxed Trip 35 with lens cap, wrist strap, user manual, warranty card and original film loaded!!! I don't know how rare this is but to me it sounds like a great find.
Not interested in selling, i think this is something i will be putting safe on my shelf. I kind of feel bad now that i didn't pay the guy more :-/

Anyways here's some pics

Ah that is an INCREDIBLE find! I'm very jealous. I hope you have a lot of fun with that camera!

Bet you don't feel that bad ........

It's very much staying in my cupboard at the moment, very reluctant to use it!.

That's true, i'm actually quite chuffed!

I hope you like it! I decided I'm probably going to try to sell my Elan 7N tomorrow, but film is very cool. Shoot some Velvia!

i have to admit i havent shot velvia before but i did shoot provia and loved it!
