Get it while you can

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve probably already heard that Polaroid is going to stop making film and instant cameras. It’s already disappearing from stores as people begin stocking up, some for personal use and others are selling it on ebay. It’s already fetching a pretty penny on ebay even with it still being available in stores. So if you have a Polaroid camera, stock up now before it’s all gone. I hope that some other company will pick up the patent and will continue to make it. I remember when I was little that my Aunt had a camera from Kodak that did the same thing until Polaroid sued Kodak and they stopped producing the film, so she had the choice to keep the camera or trade it in for a Kodak Disc Camera. I think she kept the Kodak. For more of the story go here: http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2008/02/08/polaroid_shutting_2_mass_facilities_laying_off_150/

My friend Pete told me about a good deal on the film if you use a coupon from Staples. So I stocked up!
