No, they do sell them. A woman on one of my other genealogy lists (can't remember which one) purchased several reels from them and was doing lookups. I didn't have an interest in purchasing any at the time, but now I do. They have the church records for my family. We have a local Family History Center, but it only has limited evening hours (a few hours once or twice a week) and is out in the farmlands. I can't get to it, and, even if I could, the hours are so limited that it would be difficult to decipher the old German script in that amount of time.

Where there are no Family History Centers, I know that sometimes they allow libraries to hold and let patrons use films in the libraries. NARA and various private companies have microfilms for sale. NARA also has a rental program, as I recall, and you can also request some film via Inter-Library Loan in some larger libraries with microfilm and/or microfiche readers. I've borrowed newspapers on microfilm through my largest local library, for instance. Unless you can borrow without cost from a nearby library, the LDS is the lowest-cost option.
