How can a camera shop have no idea on the original price of camera
equipment? Especially Olympus was one of the biggest camera
manufacturer. Here nearly every used camera shop have a price list of
every camera manufacturer. They know the list price of the items very
well. In this way they set the sells price, so in most cases the price
of used OM items is very high.
