There's only about three cameras on that entire page that I would actually be able to use, or would want to use, so I don't find it that sad.

Im going to assume that this is geared more for decorators who will use these as decorative pieces.

I don't see any other reason to sell stuff in sets of three...

Instant decoration for those who don't even know the slightest thing about photography.

Maybe I should keep a bunch of old rolls of Kodak Gold. Maybe in a few years I could tell people that there actually was gold in the emulsion and get a good profit out of them!

I don't see why not. This person is trying to sell a Hawkeye for $75usd!!

And then its a very late late model. Not even one of the early versions with the nice metal advance knob!

Just what every bijoux residence needs to give it a touch of wisdom, elegance and intrigue.

I'm not sure about being pulled into their narrative though. That sounds painful...especially at those prices.

Simply looking at that, just imagine how much our stuff is worth!
