EBay has become a giant fishing expedition among camera sellers hoping to reel in a live one. Also, there may be very special attributes to one high priced-realized camera which are not present with another, no matter how similar they look. Finally, one person's mint is another's very good. One camera sales board recently offered two rangefinder Nikons described as "Mint". Both had notable dents on the top plate, rubs on the base plate, and wear around the focus wheel.
