Looking for someone with more money than sense

[Dez]

Certainly more money than I have, I guess.

The scary thing is that someone will probably buy it.

There is a whole bunch of gear and accessory for collectors out there and they actually don't practice the photography. Freud has somewhere a chapter dedicated to these sort of people I guess. 🙂

Wasn't April Fool's last week?

Some fools are open for business all year.

I've got the original deeds to London Bridge for sale, if anyone's interested...

I wonder how much my 1st edition Jupiter 8 case is worth

I will take them off your hands they will look good next to my framed deeds to the moon

They cannot compete with this:

So, I couldn't help myself and emailed him asking if there was perchance a bit of glue in his atmosphere? Well, he replied, and simply stated he'd start high and deal with the responses or offers as they came. Fair enough,he got our attention didn't he ? Peter

 

[Shac]

and at that starting price they want to charge shipping!

 

[Dez]

I wonder if the strange asking price translates to one million yen?

I think he's just having a little fun. If you look at his other items he's at market price. I sort of admire his sense of humor. He probably got that case in the bottom of a box of other stuff.

 

[Steve M.]

You'd think he'd offer free shipping at that price. Actually, I think he's looking for a collector without a brain. Very funny listing. LOL!

We only paid a few thousand more for our fully furnished 2 bdr,, 2 bth mobile home w/ Florida room, central a/c, king size beds, 10 minutes to the beach.......or, I could have bought a camera lens case. Hope I didn't make the wrong decision.

According to my screen display...

I have the left two in the front row. Only eight more to get! I bet I can get them all total for a lot less than the seller is asking for that one.

And I still have—and use— my original brown leather cases for my 35mm., 105mm.,and 50mm.f/2 S mount Nikkors.

Such hidden wealth!

But I shall continue in my folly of actually using them.

First world stupidity. People are still starving in many parts of the planet and clean drinking water is a rarity in many places.

But yes ... some bonehead 'will' probably pay the price for this piece of folded, stitched leather! 🙁

And, if it's real, if it completes some collection of everything Nikon made it would be well worth the price.

Why do so many people make a business of telling others what to do? Seems rather socialist.

 

[Dez]

People are free to do what they want. And other people are free to laugh at them for doing so.

Dez

I wonder if it is Kobe leather?
