Or who know the collectability/value of OM stuff but have had it sitting
on the shelf for so long (and got it for so cheap) that they don't care
anymore and want to move it to the first person who expresses a
serious interest. That's how I've gotten alot of my "deals."

P.S. Establishing a friendly relationship with the sales people (by
visiting often and being really nice when you do) also helps. So does
whining 'bout how broke you are or you'd pay more! :-)
P.S.S. If you need cash for more stuff, I'll give ya CDN$55 (plus
shipping, of course!) for that 65-116 extension tube. :-)
