I am in a shop selling anything second-hand, tape recorders, playstations, musical instruments etc. Scattered throughout all the odds and ends is a large amount of Leica gear. It is obvious from the massive underpricing that the owner of the shop has no idea what the Leica stuff is worth. I want to buy it all but I am worried that my eagerness will alert the owner to his underpricing. I cannot buy it a bit at a time for fear of losing some of it to others in the shop who, equally unaware of its true value, are looking at the items as a cheap way of getting into photography. I circulate among the other customers trying to put them off with whispered asides such as "£20 for that old body, he (the owner) must be joking", "£15 for a 135mm lens? Its a dead focal length. Completely useless." This circle just goes round and round in the way that dreams do without me getting my hands on any of the gear. Anywhere else in the civilised world this would not be considered a nightmare but here on the LUG who knows? I cannot blame this on the LUG because this nightmare predates it. There you have it, the contents of my head strewn across the table. Start picking.
