I bought mine awhile ago @ TARGET. Just check the expiration date and keep them somewhere room temp. where there are no extremes in temp.

Re: DO disposable cameras go 'bad'

they do have expiration dates, but are usually good for a couple of years...so you should be ok!

Re: DO disposable cameras go 'bad'

what if Im buying off of E-bay? Think they will tell me the truth about the expiration date?

Re: DO disposable cameras go 'bad'

i bought mine off of ebay and they were great!! if i can find it, i'll give you the name of the people we bought them from...what i liked about them was that they offered the opportunity to return them if we werent' satisfied, which is uncommon for ebay....
they were very honest and the pictures came out great!!

GREAT, thanks!
I saw some for $2.95 each which with shpping made them about $3.69 each, thats a good price!

Re: DO disposable cameras go 'bad'

that's a great price - plus, sometimes if you do bulk orders the shiipping is less.
we ordered a bunch, and then took sample pictures with one, and got them developed to see how they came out first

Re: DO disposable cameras go 'bad'

good idea..thanks! We only need 12 ( one a table) getting some Black and white ones( 5) at Target and that should be plenty...thanks again!

Re: DO disposable cameras go 'bad'

2.95 is a good price but I just got them from staples (27 exp, 800 speed, with flash) for $3 each (no shipping, yay!).

They are ugly yellow, but I'll just put them in a bag or make those covers, it's something to think about.

Re: DO disposable cameras go 'bad'

I too got mine from Staples for only .97 cents each - The day after thanksgiving sale - and yes they come in yellow cases - BUT MY FH is a wonderful person and created covers so we are re-covering them....
