The culture was to over deliver and to promptly take care of mistakes. Current owners have continued that philosophy. I will say that the rapid change in digital has had an impact. In the film days a serviceable camera kept its value, even if you had 300 F3's on the shelf you didn't worry. Now, you have to really manage inventory cost/numbers. Even D700's or 5DMKII's are dropping in value. On the collectible side condition is everything, a beater M2 might sell for 500 while a pristine authenticated black paint M2 might go over 10000 depending. We did have a rough patch as we learned to deal with scammers. One of the reasons shipping is getting hard on end consumers is we would verify a purchaser and ship to home address and scammers would reroute the shipment. Then there are the unfortunate customers whose countries charge very high duties on used cameras and we have to explain, warn, suggest they call their customs office to verify duties before purchase.
