Not to underplay Jan's mercenary nature (or mine), but IMHO, that OM-2n
blk. is worth what Jan has it at...at retail. But why should he not
benefit from the real market price of his camera ?
On the other hand, it was really d-u-m-b to mention the $36 original
price. Talk about inciting resentment..but, it's a free market. Lee, all
you have to do is walk away.
Now, I would go all the way to maybe 185.00 for that OM-2n...:-)
