Nikon FM3A - When a brochure costs more than the actual camera

[Jan Van Laethem]

Just spotted this on the big auction site :

9,000 USD for a brochure ? At first I thought it was a misprint, but 3 offers have already been made.

Why so much, am I missing something

Whatever it is, I'm missing it too.

Maybe the offers made have been sensible? Like around $10?

The brochure being in Japanese it may be worth twice that, but certainly not what they are asking for. There must be thousands of brochures like this one that went off the press when this camera was introduced.

I have one. I will let it go for half, $4500. Oh wait a minute it is a computer printout with oatmeal stains on it. Drat!!!

That ought to knock the price about $1,500, Akiva. 😀
