Thats a great find! Certainly once in a life time. If you are diligent in your searching you are bound to stumble upon a good find every now and then. This year my best finds have been a Rollei 35 S for $3, a Voigtlander Bergheil for $10, and a Zeiss Ikon Favorit for $5. The rest of my finds have not been that exciting, I did however pick up a Rolleiflex 3.5E for $75, and a Rolleiflex MX-EVS for $125. I was quite excited about this as well, but that is no $5 Rolleiflex! What model did you get? Cogratulations!

Why do I never see signs like that?

Its an old one, Rolleiflex Standard, but I don't mind, it works excellent. He knows what he has but just wants to get rid of them. He has a lot of Argus Cameras (he likes them),and I spotted some German Rangefinders which I'm going back for. He has them layered in garbage cans of all things. He mentioned that he has 300+ cameras,glass plate negatives,darkroom equipment,movie cameras,film & slide projectors. It's really a great find, and I'll be open to some trading as well as keeping an eye open for anything anyone might want. I'll post specifics as I find them.

Bought a Minox B with flash, slide cutter, angle viewer and case... a Canon 20ED... a Tasco binocular camera with case and 3 lenses, and an Olympus Pen-FT 1.4, all for $80.00 at the flea market a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except the "B", will cost another $80.00 at DAG to get it fixed.
Just another Christmas!
