Sorry, Dan! I didn't see this particular OM-1, or any other one in
reasonably good condition at such a low price. I did not forget your
request, btw. It's simply that the demand for OM-1's is still quite
strong (for astrophotography and as a higher end student camera).

And so, the prices of clean bodies rarely dip under $140-150, unless
you are willing to settle for a fully functional unit with visible
cosmetic flaws, e.g. dents. I'll keep looking though.

P.S. My thanks to Tom Curlee for his vivid report on the Buena Park
     Oly fest (and for getting me in hot water with Dan :-)).

Cheers,
