In the spirit of the recent "Stupid photography mistakes" thread, I suggest this "Deals we shouldn't oughta have made" and I'll offer my sad tale of woe (or is that woeful tale of sadness?) Sold a lovely IIIg with 5cm collapsible Elmar(?) for $400 in the 80s. The guy who bought it sent his wife in while he waited in the car (probably for a quick getaway!) She plunked down the cash, grabbed the camera and was off like a shot. $400... sheesh! Anybody else want to step up to the plate? - - Walter
