Olli, there is now little choice for users of photo-chemical paper, and not
much at all for Cibachrome/Ilfochrome.
BUT
A UK dealer is still advertising P30 for sale (A 2-litre kit costs GBP112)
here: http://tinyurl.com/6dfwlh4 while it is only Euro75 in France:
http://tinyurl.com/4pvyva6
There is a brief discussion of the shelf-life on Ilford's forum here
http://tinyurl.com/689qngk and another posting on that site asking for
sources of supply - but it was four years ago. As it happens, the person who
asked is a LUGger in UK, I could try to put you in contact with him.
Although B&H say that the manufacturer has discontinued P-30, the UK
distributor still has it in their pricelist (but you have to look hard for
it). The same price list has 100 sheets 10x8 paper for GBP160 and 10 sheets
of 12x16 paper for GBP60 - but in both cases the grade is CLM1K Deluxe
Glossy Med Contrast (the only grade listed), not CLM1M RC Pearl. The prices
at the French site are comparable to UK, and also CLM1K only.
Maybe you could try a listing on APUG? Or on a Large Format forum, for
possible use in-camera? It sounds like there ought to be demand.

Subject: [OM] Prices for Ilford Ilfochrome dark room stuff
Hi,
I started cleaning my apartment and found stuff I didn't remember existing.
5 years ago I bought some dark room equipments as a bunch. I needed just
something from the bunch so the other stuff have been just laying on the
back of the shelf. I am now willing to sell these but I could use a little
help on considering what kind of prices would be appropriate. Please
comment:
1) Ilford processing drum for 30x40 cm (12x16 inch) prints. Original
package. --> about 5 eur?
2) Ilford Ilfochrome Classic Process P30 processing kit. 2 x 1 litre. Weight
2.93 kg. Includes 8 unopened bottles. I have one such box with unopened
bottles and one box with a few bottles used. --> Google told that it has
been very expensive some years ago but it is discontinued now. Does this
stuff expire? I have no idea on price...
3) Ilford Ilfochrome Classic medium contrast paper, medium weight, glossy,
CPM.1M, 20.3x25.4 cm (8x10 inch). 100 papers. Use before Mar 2006. --> Some
paper has been used and then the box is taped (so that box does not
accidentally open).
4) Ilford Ilfochrome Classic medium contrast paper, medium weight, glossy,
CPM.1M, 30.5x40.6 cm (12x16 inch). 10 papers.Use before Mar 2006. --> I have
2 of these boxes unopened.
All have been kept in dark in constant room temperature.
So all thoughts on appropriate prices are welcomed. Or if you happen to be
interested in anything, please let me know! Or perhaps I should start
experimenting with ilfochrome...
Thanks already in advance!
Olli
