OK... Out of the closet.....   Let's hear about the most outrageous deal you 
have ever gotten on a camera or lens.  No fair unless
you explain the circumstances of the deal.......as much as you know......

I will start off:  I bought about 30 darkroom lenses in a lot from Ebay.  
The guy was legitimate, he was an equipment dealer in the
Midwest.  He dealt in surplus equipment.  I paid over $1300, and sold a few 
of the lenses off for what I paid, then doubled that
number on a single lens.....  a 210mm F5.6  APO EL Nikkor.  Not bad.  I sold 
off the rest of the lenses for a few hundred.

Your turn......
