Why is it so hard to sell?

[guangong]

I could be described as an accumulator or a hoarder. The only two cameras I sold were a Minolta SLR gifted to me by Minolta ( used to buy Nikon F), and a Pentagon 6, which was presented by factory (used to buy just introduced Leitz 400 mm trombone lens). Forgot my Hasselblad 1000 F, which fiend an early death. All other cameras just seem to stick with me. I see advantages and disadvantages with every camera type and format. Right now carrying my trusty Rollei 35...although I would have kept this camera free of dents could I have foreseen today’s selling price for my model. Have never felt the need for auto everything cameras, except handy for Minox 8x11 camera’s, so never felt the need to upgrade.

I'm now in my seventies, and I alternate/vacillate/hesitate/oscillate//falter/teeter/waver/fluctuate/dither (your choice)...

Procrastinate?

Don't worry about selling it. When you die, you're wife's new husband will throw it out. Along with your landscape photos.

I chortled that someone would be so presumptuous to tell the truth.

I didn't consider myself a hoarder but then my wife pointed out my penchant for collecting multiple examples of specific camera models. Among my many models I had 7 Nikkormats, 5 Nikon N80's and 4 Nikon F's and 3 Nikon F2's. Almost all of them were in tip top shape but I rarely used most of them. So.....I finally started to whittle down my collection including many other cameras that I just never used. I don't regret selling them. With most of them I made money. There is however a little twinge of loss that a mechanical/optical marvel has left my grasp.
