[rollei_list] Re: Camera show Sunday, Philadelphia area

The sales have all but  disappeared from Milwaukee too. They used to be fun. 
On a couple of occaisions I rented a table and sold my excess equipment.

Milwaukee had at least  6 used store outlets. Now it's down to two. The 
market has certainly changed since digital.
