What should I do with my obsolete Polaroid cameras?

I have a 440 I use occasionally. Even though the film is discontinued it's available and so far the expiration date is 2018--on the packs I have. I'll bring mine and shoot it until the prices for color film are too high for me. $24 a box isn't too bad now.
 
Send them with a rocket into outer space (maybe with the next Tesla car that will be sent "up")!

I can think of a few cars that probably belonged in outer space before the Tesla does! What was the point of doing that, I wonder.

Like the Edsel, the Gremlin, my old VW square back, my old VW van with carburetor problems. That rear-engine Chevy, whatever its name was--the one that blew oil out the back.
 
My first car was a "cousin" of the AMC Gremlin. I had a blue Hornet as my college car.
 
Use the camera as a pin-hole camera using paper negatives from RC print paper cut to size.

Contact print the paper negatives and Bob is your uncle.
 
Last week I got a 350 modified with Tominon 105 and Rada rollfilm 6x9 back... and while it's not perfect, bit rough on the edges, it got me thinking- with 180/90/95 getting cheap they will be perfect for 6x9/4x5 modifications.
 
Mine was blue. Some of the students in my department referred to is as "Blue Sh!t". I loved my car!

It looked like this one with a six cylinder engine and two doors.

I'm sure the film will come back. I'd hold on to them. Or sell them off and keep the 250. That's all you need.
 
I think the peel apart film will come back...but not sure when...
Anyway I like so much my 340 (which was my father's camera) that even as paperweight is a beauty :)
