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.
I heard a similar story, almost certainly true, about a salesman who
bought a Hasselblad with three lenses (50, 80 and 150mm) from a lady
for $1000 of his own money. The gear was from her husband who had
passed away a few years earlier. I heard the story from the salesman
himself, who was bragging about it.
Unlikely he had $1000 in cash on him, but there are lots of ways to
pay.
Afterwards, he was very happy, and so was the lady.
