How I did it: I always wanted a polaroid camera, and when I heard they were being disscontinued I freaked out. So I begged my parents and i think they got mine on ebay, they're harder to find then one would think. Actually the film really costs alot, i dont know the excact numbers, but apperantly the 4 packages of film i have cost more than the actual polaroid camera. But its all worth the film's accidental inmperfection (which actually makes it more perfect), its hard to explain lol. There is actually a really interesting article in the times about the disscontinuation of polaroid instant film, and Andy Warhol ect...
Lessons & tips: Get one! Quick, before they're gone forever. An exellent way to capture moments with friends, i like to bring mine around with me so i can take a picture if my friends are acting ridiculous. That way you have countless memories instantly in the palm of your hand.
Resources: Ebay! I have also heard about people finding them at yardsales, but good luck.

Hai! i’m not someone that knows much about photography, but meh! I want a polaroid camera anyway. They interest me. But as you already described I am worried about the cost of the film being alot of money in the long run. Thats the only thing that’s making me hesitate in buying it… :/
