 I've been to a couple of these, though not the most recent; one thing
that the average user won't appreciate is what constitutes Mint, Ex and
Ex+ in Japan - these cameras, by and large, either are, or look totally
unused.  Much of the mint stuff would be boxed, sealed and still
wrapped.  Some sellers have x-rays to prove what's in there, but without
anyone looking, let alone touching.  None of my gear would be worth $0.02
at one of these sales.  Unless you're talking black paint, where,
ironically, worn to hell is preferred.  Baffling. Marty
