Is the Collector retiring?

(I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, or if the question is ok. Mods please move or delete if needed.)

Is the Collector retiring? Or has he retired?

I spotted an ad on Ebay from someone claiming to be him. There is a TON of equipment. Too pricey for me. My enema budget has limits, lol!

I'm surprised it was not mentioned here. I can't be the only one of us that spotted the ad.

I've read that some of you have contacts with the pros. Anyone able to fill us in?

To the Collector: If you are retiring, my thanks and best wishes. Finding that website and videos was a revelation. I wish I could buy every video, and all of that equipment. Thank you.

You’re not. I saw it a couple of days ago, and you’re correct, it’s way too pricey.

Update: I went back to eBay to take another look. The collection isn’t a “Buy it Now” item. It’s open for “Bids” starting at $950.00 plus a $200.00 shipping cost.

The eBay link is:

I saw the listing a couple days ago. It had a lot of equipment included in the sale. I believe it was about $950. Considering all that was included, it seemed to be reasonably priced. I just looked and can't find it on Ebay. It must have sold.

The ad is still active.

Here is the link:

I agree that there is a lot of great stuff there. In total, it is a great deal for the money, but not within my budget limits.

Does anyone know the collector's status? This seems odd for the Collector to dump these under one sale. I hope everything is ok.

I would not bid 10 bucks for the whole lot none is rare cool history its just used and aged.... no thanks the tubing should be disposed of and truthful much of it should be trashed it had its day throw it away

It's my understanding that Ashleigh aka The Collector is not in good health. The last time that I chatted with him, which was years ago, he was living in Ireland. FYI, for those that don't know him, Ashleigh is a very interesting man. He used to do the audiovisual concert effects for one of the world's most famous and popular bands.

Ash was also the curator for the U of Colorado Planetarium before he retired, decades ago. He lived in a dome home on a mountaintop just outside of Boulder, CO Most of his earlier stuff was shot, edited, and distributed from there. I am an amateur videographer, and we hit it off on that connection. I knew several of the girls, and helped edit a couple of the videos. Yes, his health is not good, and I have lost track of him.

He does indeed sound like an interesting man. His collection is a klismo’s fantasy, but too much. How I would love to have one of those smooth, red rubber close topped bags, though.

@legato345 you can get in contact with him on Ebay, maybe he's willing to sell single items too. You will never know, until you ask.

I just checked eBay again and the collection has been sold.

Someone was willing to shell out full price for all that! Glad he got what he was asking for it!

Wow. I didn't think it would sell. I was hoping the items would be sold separately. Good for the collector.

I thought that was a very good price for all that stuff. Really a great auction lot with some cool history, considering that some of the items listed were in his movies. I was wondering who bought it?

The nostalgic value of having a collection of stuff of a major fetish film contributor would be like owning a set of Joe DiMaggio baseball cards! Wouldn’t be surprised if others would pay a lot more.

Too bad you can't find a way to get the enema actresses to autograph their enema bags. Talk about a kinky twist to collecting autographed baseball cards! 😜

Dang, sad I missed this, but I also just downsized my collection and gave a bunch of stuff away to a good friend. She uses it with some other playmates as a domme, especially all the long and thick colon tubes.

Some of the stuff in this lot is easily worth $200+ for single items. Those Klystra bags each are worth that much and basically impossible to find now. No one ever made one as nice as their 4qt silicone. The OHN 5qt is good, but the Klystra was thicker and the hanging grommet would never tear.

Also given the history of so many of these pieces, someone with enough time and motivation to catalogue it all could stand to make some money and share the history of his productions. I’m sure we all have favorite moments and favorite equipment that was used in his videos.

Agree on most of the tubing being disposed of, that’s the biggest sanitary issue here. All the stuff I gave away was silicone and triple-washed and disinfected by boiling in a big sous vide container 😂 I only gave away unused tubing.

Recently I have noticed that there are fewer and fewer new videos from The Collector. Just wondering if he is still planning on making videos and if he is doing allright?

I have always enjoyed the collector's videos but lately the only way to get to the site is my-enema.com and there hasn't been a new video in many many months. Wondering if he is OK and/or retired. Do wish he would or someone in his orbit would start making videos on a regular basis again.

He delivered some high quality content. I had dvds featuring Sabrina, Lola, Kaz, Rogue Rose and the greatest of them all Madam X. I got rid of my collection for the most part to remove incriminating evidence of this hot and dirty habit of mine. I did recently find a disc I'd hidden separately, so for the moment I can still enjoy Lola.

I hope him and all his wonderful models are doing well, I am grateful to them all.

Yes, I have to agree with many. Some good videos with great models. I thought I read on here that The Collector is a member of Zity.biz. Also did he not have an optometry business In Hartford , CT at one time? I ordered one of his videos one time via mail (Years ago) but it was intercepted by Canadian Customs. It was deemed pornographic. Can't understand why. They've been doing enemas in hospitals since Jesus was a Boy Scout.

I used to know Ashleigh reasonably well at a chat site I moderated--with a name that was often mistaken for female by men in the US, he was pestered fairly relentlessly and fully sympathetic to why it was so hard to get women to join the site.

We shared some musical tastes--I have a CD he burned for me that includes some of his own music. Then I learned about the planetarium aspect of his career. I was good friends with another planetarium person at the time, so I had to ask if Ashleigh knew Fran. He did! I imagine Fran had no idea what Ashleigh's other interests included. (Well, maybe the bagpipes.)

Anyway, I'm sorry to learn Ash is/was in poor health. Ashleigh, if you're a member her, give us a shout-out, or if you'd rather keep a low profile, message me and I'll tell you my old chat name.

Max:

i'm sorry you had to sell your stuff for fear of being discovered (?).

this reminds me of what happened to the great photographer, Edward Weston. He really invented the concept of form and shot all kinds of things, but mostly household appliances and nudes of his wife. There was nothing pornographic about them. he used a large format camera and was able to get incredible three dimensional images. He shot her on sand dunes and other sort of interesting places. But it was his eye that made them great.

He was a friend of Ansel Adams, and they even lived near one another.

I remember reading that he would sell a print, but then had to spend hours touching out any traces of pubic hair.

Somebody also mentioned here that they had difficulty with the Canadian post office censoring their mail with the collector.

In reading through this, I'm going to start a new topic about censorship, shame, and like. I keep coming across that subject and have struggled with it myself. I think it's really unfortunate that governments around the world, including ours in the US, somehow think it's appropriate for them to restrict what we can watch. It seems to be worse in the UK and Canada but I just think you can't even get that sort of thing in the Middle East without being beheaded or something. Spain, Italy, and France seem more accepting.
