Guy walks into a downtown camera store and says, "I like to trade my
film camera for a credit against a new digital."
Pulls out a Leica R3 in near mint condition, a Summicron 50mm f2 made
in the Midland, Ontario plant, almost mint and a 28mm f2.8 Elmarit,
similar condition.
Sales guy asks what he wants for it.
$200.00. Sales guy's eyes light up, he pulls out his own wallet and
hands the guy $200.00.
I guess it's a perk of the job that you get to take advantage of
things like this personally.
I don't know what digital the guy ended up getting.
Unlikely to be true.
No one, but no one carries that much cash around with them these days.

He had quit smoking, and what he did was toss his cigarette money into a jar every day. When he had a year's worth of cigarettes not bought, he rolled the coins and bought his camera.
