This is certainly not the case here. I sell on consignment through a local
dealer. As an example, I can sell a 50mm f/1.4 CFD for $100 in a couple of
days. A 50mm f/1.4 OM will rot on the shelf at $60. I have seen mint
65-200mm f/4s rot at $150. I had a nearly mint 24mm f/2.8 with case that
took months to sell at $125. I need to come visit the areas where CFD is so
cheap! I have seen it sell at the local shop above the KEH catalog! I only
buy OM equipment that I want for myself unless it is too cheap to pass. I
only had the 24mm because I bought it for $55.
