You have reminded me of a visit to Jessops on another British offshore
island, looking for Kodachrome Super-8, and being offered a Hi-8 video tape.
My explanation of the difference fell on deaf ears.

But don't assume their ignorance of the values works only in the downwards
direction.  I expect their London New Oxfrod St branch still has the 80/4
Zuiko macro with 65-116 tube for GBP600 (USD1000).

Well, in my opinion they are just like a photographic supermarket really.
Genuine bargains are rarely to be found, except when whoever does the sale
valuations makes a mistake - as in the case of my 45GBP 35-70/3.6
presumably?On the same occasion as I was offered 25GBP for my OM-1 I had my
M-1 with me, and just out of curiosity (and to wind the guy up!!)asked what
that would be worth as a trade -in. He looked in his little book, couldn't
find "M-1" listed, couldn't be bothered to find out any more, and declined
to make me an offer at all!! Thank goodness that we still have one
traditional type of photographic shop here on the Isle of Man , owner run by
a guy who actually is a photographer- we also now (joy of joys!) have a
Jessops branch. I never go in there though.

Andy.
