At least she has a grasp of what her cameras are worth even if a little high. I
have no nod of approval for someone that laughingly brags they bought a box of
M3's with several lenses from some dumb widow for $25..... A friend of a friend
(An accomplished violinist) once bought a $50k violin at a garage sale for $50
and for years bragged about it....
