Rest assured Osi, I still have dozens and dozens of 8mm reels here. And even if some titles are little by little being replaced by their big 35 mm brothers, there will be a while before I let super 8 go. There's nothing like finding an obscure film only released in Germany and trying to locate a good sound source to recreate the track in English or French... But, as you might guess, finances aren't unlimited so tough choices must be made. The sensible thing to do in collecting is to let some items go in order to pay for other items. And features in professionnal format can be sometimes obtained for the fraction of the price asked for a super 8 or 16 mm print. Hey, haven't you experienced that recently with a certain 3D animated film ? Also, you have to remember that being a part time dealer at our annual convention here, I sometimes have the opportunity to buy films in bulk. Most of them are french titles, that's why I don't sell them through the forum. And there's always the "Disney Christmas" situation ie - you find a better print (sometimes in the aforementioned bulk) of a title you already have, so previous version has to go...
