Is this item worth more than its going to sell???

[sobestrong]

Hey guys, quick question. While cleaning our attic last year I found a few unopened packages of USSR photo paper. (We lived in Ukraine) One of them was one I recognized from a book as being rare and uncommon. So I put it up for bidding , now I am worried that maybe it is worth more than it's going to sell... Its already too late because I put it up a while ago and it got 2 bids(( But I thought maybe someone would be able to tell me that its not worth that much. Thanks everyone!

This is the item

I doubt if anyone here on the antiques group will be able to tell you what it is worth.

A lesson ALL sellers need to learn...something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I know i'm dense but what can be the value of photo paper that expired 35 years ago?

My guess is that someone who does vintage photography might want it,but how many folks out there do that ?

How true.  My father used to tell me the same thing as a kid when we sold at the flea markets back in the 1980s.

Did you do a search of completed listings for similar items to compare?

This didn't sell for $20.00, basically the cost for shipping.
