I'm mainly a super-8mm collector, but through the years I also had a few 16mm. projectors and a few films. Because I also film on 16mm with my Krasnogorsk-3 camera I decided to keep one projector (Bauer P8).

Now I'm planning to sell my features because I don't watch them anyway and that's a shame. I only have 5, one of them is on eBay at the moment (The Super Cops) and still have Even Angels Eat Beans, Barbarella, The Pink Panther (1964), and Futureworld.

Except from Barbarella which is in LPP, the other ones are a bit faded but still OK to watch, but The Pink Panther is the worst. Hardly any color left. Is it worth selling such faded film and are people interested in buying faded movies?

Hi, I also buy faded prints because some films or TV episodes are getting hard to find to add to my collection - so a red print is better than none [Smile]
