The VL that got away....

But yeah, the curmudgeon in me doesn't quite understand why people need to ask if they got a good deal or if they should have bought this or that. Hell, I don't need anyone to tell me that in 1982 I shouldn't have passed on the opportunity to buy a Leica M4 + 3 lenses for $500 and a 2.8F Rolleiflex for $300.

I think it's human nature to want reassurance and sympathetic understanding from your fellow human beings, especially since we here are all fans of rangefinder cameras, eh? Why anyone would want to smack a guy when he's depressed is beyond me. A kind word and a bit of comfort never costs the giver anything and usually pays for itself with the good feelings you might for the effort. So, in short, I DO understand what he was asking for.

Well, you know yourself. If it was a good price, and you wanted it, you could have taken it with the lens and then sold the lens.

Why do you need your judgement or lack of it validated?

So now you're sitting here fuming over losing the camera. So do you feel you acted like an idiot or not? You asked the question, not me.

Wow man sounds real rude to reply that way😡

This is another thread that will end up being closed due to the exchange of improper words. Maybe it's the failing economy?
