I am the opposite, I like trying a few shots and seeing what happens with mystery film.
Although I haven't lucked out and captured anything decent on LF I have on 35mm.

Well, the holders look clean, they are in Ziploc bags, and the seller identified the film as good FP4. I would definitely shoot a couple sheets and see for myself if the film was any good.

I would shoot the (E) film and replace it with my current film. The holders were what you paid for...the film in them was a bonus. You may find a very special image as an unexpected extra..........
But, I would never shoot a job with unknown film or film handling....

if we do not buy new film, there will be none sooner then later. Ilford Adox and Efke and Bergger are not evil, some are even employee owned. Kodak film production is now owned by the UK workers union. Fuji? they make the best (and only in most cases) film available. if you do not by the little they make, they will not make it. its a simple equation.
Bergger?? I thought they stopped distributing film a long time ago. Did they resume?
i wouldn't bother with the seller ... he or she obviously doesn't know or doesn't care
about the film in the holders
maybe just exposing a few sheets at a time on a whim* and processing it on a whim ..
you could always remove all the film from your film holders
cut it up into small pieces and use them to test your fixer to see when it is exhausted.
* whim meaning on things that don't matter just for fun without a care if the film does or doesn't work out..
Use the film as a test the holders for light leaks.
