Super 8 christmas films for sale.

[Keith Ashfield]

I have listed below films for sale from my collection.

Due to my failing eyesight (macular degeneration) I cannot enjoy my films as I used to. This is the first batch of films up for sale - more to follow.

All the films listed are in excellent / very good condition (except where otherwise stated).

Postage and Packing costs to be added (at cost - subject to agreement). Preferably, the films will be sent via a traceable service (insured) unless a note, in writing is received from the buyer, stating this is not required. If it is not sent "traceable" then any loss must be accepted by the buyer. Buyers are welcome to arrange their own shipping, or collection, once the item is packed.

Obviously, due to my "disability", please allow time for packing and despatch. I will do it as fast as I can, bearing in mind, I am also the carer for my disabled wife and daughter.

It is with great regret that I part with these titles but I would prefer someone else to get pleasure from them, instead of leaving them on a shelf, not being watched.

All the films come in plastic film containers and, in some instances, the original boxes, reels and leaders are available and can be included in the deal, if required - these films are marked "OB".

I am sorry but I cannot "split up the reels" to their original reel because of my sight problem.

I do have "screenshots" for some titles (these are marked with *) and I am willing to attempt to take "screenshots" with a mobile phone, but cannot guarantee the quality/outcome.

Payment with Paypal, "as a gift" is preferred.

[Lee McCaffrey]

Some absolute crackers in that list! Sorry to see you're selling them under such unfortunate circumstances.

[Phillip Campey]

So sorry Kieth, in my haste to see what you were selling I scrolled past the top of the post. I’m really sorry to hear through you failing sight that you can no longer enjoy your films. It must be very frustrating.

[Keith Ashfield]

Thanks for your kind words and thoughts. Extremely frustrating, having been a collector for over 40 years but we deal with life's cards as they are dealt.

[Osi Osgood]

Sent you a PM, Keith! Best regards, my friend. Osi

[Lincoln Thorn]

I’m terribly sorry to hear about your Heath issues!

if still available, I’d be interested in Roger Rabbit or The Small One/Night Before Christmas.

[Alberto Vangelisti]

Hello Keith.
I am very, very sorry to read about the reason for the selling of Your beloved films.

All the best to You

Oliver

[Brian Fretwell]

Yes. It is a very sad reason and I to am sorry to read it has affected you. I remember that Dave West of DCR films did the same when his diabetes finally affected his sight.

[Keith Ashfield]

Thanks for your kind thoughts guys.
I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration about 7 years ago but have managed to cope until now. It is becoming increasingly difficult to set up the equipment and I do not wish to damage my films by incorrectly threading etc. That, along with my care commitment to my wife and daughter, makes sense to let someone else get pleasure from them. I do miss the "showmanship of reel film" but it is far easier to put a disc into a slot than mess with mechanical equipment.
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS NOW SOLD
Many thank,
Keith

[Osi Osgood]

I look forward to that list and I am setting aside me dollars for the purchases! I so wish that this could be reversed, as I'd much rather still have my fellow film collector and his collection out there, but things are as they are. Absolutely best wishes!

Hi Keith no reason you can`t keep popping in on here and keep connected.

Some other old friends on here have left cine but still drop in.

I`m not suggesting you do this but I would probably need to keeo keep say a light Sankyo 501 or similar in nice order and a couple of 400`s and a few trailers.

I think I would need to at least keep that in a cupboard somewhere.

But you have a good VP so you can still enjoy the big screen, and far more easily too.

Sounds very tough there for your family, so all take care.

Best Mark.
