Non Digital Cameras-How to dispose them?

I have 3 excellent non digital cameras and I know there is no demand for
them but the thought of disposing them in the waste bin does not seem right.
Is there anyone who would want them ?

Ebay is always an option. Even if you don't get anything for the
cameras you get the buyer to pay for carting them off.

I just sold a Canon T2 body for $55 on ebay.

See if your local high school or community college wants them. For reasons I
don't entirely grasp, such institutions sometimes want to teach their
photography students about film.

Although I have four digital cameras, a short time ago, I bought a Nikon
F100 that was in absolute mint condition. Local camera stores still
stock film and having film developed has not been a problem. There's
something about B&W film that I don't see in digital. Anyway, I'm having
fun the camera.

I have several mint or VERY near mint film cameras I will NOT
"give" away - they are worth more as nice reminders of an age
of an earlier imaging type. I have Nikon FG, FA, N2000, N8008,
and F100 bodies, all great for some types of photography! ;-)
Oh, and then there is also the Voightlander Bessa, with the
12mm lens on it...;-)

I fully accept the ease and technical wonders of digital photography as
opposed to the era of film but I have to say, in my opinion, I think
film with its subtle capability, was a more artistically creative media
which depended upon the technical knowledge and intuitiveness of the
photographer.

My wife and I have a ghastly Statue-of-Liberty radio that my mother gave us at
the time of the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976. But we recognized immediately that
it's a prime example of over-the-top Bicentennial kitsch, and we have
preserved it in mint condition in its original package. I predict that someday
our grandchildren will cash it in for a princely sum.

But not as good as watercolour.

So, I see that you've been watching too many episodes of
"Pawn Stars", "American Pickers", "Antiques Roadshow", etc.
Sometimes "junque" really is junk...;-) (Although the
rusted out, holey, beaten-up stuff pulled out of falling-
down barns, etc. on "American Pickers" and supposedly
regularly sold for high prices does make one wonder...;-)
