Hi Andrew,
yes, I'd say it is a good price for a 'somewhat less than exellent'
OM-1(n) over here. Those in good/excellent condition go for in between
DM250 and 400. And then, as many listmembers mentioned before, it always
pays to look what actually is the matter with an OM-1 that doesn't
behave properly. Some of the more typical problems obviously can be
resolved quite simply.
I'm just trying to figure out how many used OMs I'd have to take back
from Sidney and sell here to pay for the ticket. Any idea on how to
convince custom officials that you carry about ten of them for your
personal needs?
Cheers,
Soenke, Hamburg
