I grow old, I grow old
I shall wear my trousers rolled
Do I dare to eat a peach?
People otten collect the stuff they loved when they were kids and either couldn't afford or Mummy threw out when Child went off to university.
Vinyl albums and 16 mm films might be of interest to those of us in the early Baby Boom, but we are starting to retire and downsize, so there would normally be more supply than demand for these nostalgia items.
There is a small followup market for some ot these things. My deejay nephew (age 40) has been picking from my LPs whenever he flies into town.
In my opinion the most active collectors are aged from about 35 (married, established job, kids in school) up to about 70 (retired, downsizing, fixed income). And that's in any field.
I notice that Cabbage Patch Dolls are making a comeback. DD had a couple of those when she was in Grade Two. She is now 36. See how that works?

I stopped buying 16mm when digital became cheap and such great quality. I have loads of films I need to sell, including 92 original MASH episodes!

Hi everyone, I have been a keen film collector for many years and am searching for 16mm prints of these euro horrors
"NIGHT OF THE DAMNED", "SOMETHING CREEPING IN THE DARK" and "LONG HAIR OF DEATH" with Barbara Steele.
If anyone has prints and might sell. Thanks for reading.

I have a lot of 16mm films. But my main thought is I also worked in Telecine for 30+ years. I am available to work with any of you that would like to transfer 16mm film to dvd or file. I'm semi retired now but love to work with film and can offer an excellent price and I do the work myself. You can contact me at 760-486-5957. I will return call and answer any question you may have. Thank you, Tom

Hi hwy cinema,
Just came across this site. There are a number of collectors in the U.K. but, as you say, mostly elderly. I've collected religious films as I was in the ministry for 44 years and used films extensively. Even now, I put on a monthly show at our local Salvation Army and had 40 in the audience at the April show. I also use film for shows in Churches, Over 60 clubs and almost anywhere requested. You said you are mostly road show. How do you operate and what is your most prized print?
Best wishes,
Dave Groves

Would love to get my hands on some episodes of My Living Doll. Loved that show. Hard to connect with collectors these days for some reason. Seems like trading/buying sites and boards were everywhere in the early 2000s.
