so, I'm done, again. No new gear on the horizon or on the radar for me.

You're a bad example for the rest of us!

Hmmm, sounds like Creeping GAS.

Def'n: The situation in which GAS leaks very slowly; manifested as small, incremental purchases.

Give-away deals and small stuff doesn't count. I used to buy ANY camera that was a good deal. Now I can walk away from everything except great deals on the good stuff.

You need to make a list of the cameras that you are looking for so that when you buy something else you could put it on the list and it would be ok.

I've got that list in my head, Steve. 🙂

Olds Trumpet, serial number dates it to 1975, a Fullerton instrument.

[FrankS]

Olds Trumpet or old strumpet? 🙂

 

[rover]

Being a trombone player, I am not sure I can tell the difference Frank.

 

[sepiareverb]

Oh, I thought you were talking about something else.

 

[FrankS]

Last Saturday it was the Rollei, this Saturday I found a Rotel RA-84oBX4 integrated stereo amp for $5.

 

[ChrisPlatt]

Today I saw a Leica for five bucks. I talked them down to three,
but it was just an old screw mount so I didn't take it... 😉

[FrankS]

Rats. Whenever I go to garage sales all I find is junk. I have too much junk. My junk is usually better than garage sale junk. I've been to two recently: Really misused and abused OLD Canon FL SLR stuff. The only thing of interest was a 50mm macro with 25mm extension tube. It was not the mint S.S.C. version that I purchased new in 1975. It looked like it had been used for a puck during the Stanley Cup games. The sale before that, I found a BNIB Velbon tripod. I was interested enough to open it. A video head. The nerve!

I never find anything even as good as stuff I already have. Rats!

about the only garage sale deal I've found recently was a 1946 Decca Records Al Jolson box set on vinyl for $4 in near mint condition
