    80's TV Movie
    I have the vague memory of watching a movie in the 80's I believe on TV that had a guy that collected all kinds of collectibles. Somehow the guy ended up in the desert with all his stuf and toward the end of the movie he decides to drive in to town, happens to be Vegas I think, and some woman in a limo offers him money for a beer stein he has. I know that is not a lot of info but if anyone remembers the name of the movie I would be grateful.

    Time goes by his hoarding alienates him from others and he becomes
    A hermit. In his old age he's living in a desert shack surrounded
    By his enormous collection of things but he's alone. He goes into
    Town one last time to get enough gas to drive his car off a cliff.
    He's at the gas station trying to find enough change for a little
    Bit of gas when someone notices an item in his collection. The man
    Begs to see it closer and the man see that it's an antique in
    Pristine condition. In fact every one of his hundreds of items
    Are. The episode ends with him and a woman sitting at an auction
    Making a fortune selling his rare collection of memorabilia.
