I am the one who started this thread and I am amazed at some of the
comments.  I get the digest and the first digest had a few comments all
blasting my friend's friend.  They have since sort of averaged out, some
thinking the bargen was just fine, others thinking my friend's friend robbed
the Salvation Army.  Others rightly said they do not know if this person
gave to charities or helped others.

Well, I do not know this person and would not recognize him if he were
shooting me with his new M3.  I do know he is a fireman, and firemen have a
long tradition of giving of themselves both moniterally and of their time to
help people.  That is all I can do to inform those who were outraged at his
bargin.  I did find it intersting the way this went where I had no idea it
would go, but then again, this is the LUG and anything inocent can be turned
into world war III here.  I have to admit that some of the comments made me
think twice about what I would have done in this situaion, as it has made
some of you think that way.  So, I guess some good has come from this.

So now to echo someone's sentiments, lets get out and shoot those cameras,
no matter what we paid for them.
