  13. Well If you can find a collector who really wanted that to to complete their collection i can see how they would be willing to pay that for it.. i wonder if he had to put it on like an installment plan lol

  16. Whaaaaaat? That's insane. I was eying a $289 Nikon & was like, 'what's the point when I'm just taking pictures of the same old stuff?' No idea how you'd justify a 2 million dollar camera that you can't even touch.
