I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Hell, it's my ongoing dream to walk into an estate sale or a pawn shop and find $20K worth of gear that no one else seems to want and I walk away with it for a song.

Certainly I'm not the only one who's wished this, am I ? :lol:

Yeah, I am still looking for that clueless thrift shop owner selling a "worthless old" Noctilux for the same price as the NIkon 50 1.8.

Well, looks like Bob's Yer Uncle here...

Well done. Did this seller have any other elderly relatives who were into photography?

Well unless you give her $3000, you still kinda ripped her off. giving her a few extra hundred bucks still means she isn't getting half of what its worth. I say leave it alone. You tried to give her extra and she didn't want it. Leave it at that.

And about giving the 135mm f/2 to a 9-year old...

May want to re-think that one as well. Awfully pricey chunk of glass for a child's "walking around lens."

It's the 135 f2.8 SF, not the L.
