While everything is for sale, it mostly doesn't move because so much of it is, as Larry said, old and fairly common roll-film and 35mm cameras. He does do a brisk business in more marketable stuff, though, much of which, and I hope I'm remembering correctly, comes from estate sales. "It's mostly in and out on the same day," he said. He's probably a good guy to know if you're into older Leica, Rollei or Hasselblad gear. He's also a nice guy. When I bought that photo book from him, I offered the 3 GBP it was marked and he talked be down to one! As I think I've said here before, I'd be a nervous wreck if I sailed there. The very idea of keeping a boat at a dock or mooring that dries out twice a day just gives me the willies. When you sail in New England, your boat MUST NEVER TOUCH BOTTOM!
