Tony -

 

I know its going to be tough to find someone who wants this stuff.  If no one buys it, I'll just keep it boxed up in the closet and maybe in 150 yrs someone will be able to get $1,000,000 for it on the Antiques Roadshow. <vbg> 

Makes you wonder what the recording medium in photography will be in 150 yrs.....

Chris,

 

    A few years ago when we went inkjet we looked in vain for ANYONE to take the color enlargers we had... they were worth several thousand dollars a piece... real 4X5 Chromegas... nobody wanted them nor did they want the 20" Kreonite paper processor worth about $10K ... we asked all the local colleges, called up dealers... nobody... it was all worthless... I kept the enlarging lenses... all the rest went to the dump. What a strange feeling...
