Why is this item half a million dollars?

Look at ath's link to RFF above. He's having a bit of sport, is all.
 
It may be a tactic.. but it's a stupid one.

I, for one, will never buy from somebody so out of touch, conniving, or just plain manipulative to ask half a million dollars for something. It shows bad character on the seller's part and I'll have nothing to do it.

So that tactic just lost him at least 1 potential customer.



(not that I'm in the market for a camera, just talking in general)
 
I just offered him $1. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
 
If it comes with a lifetime supply of Swedish supermodels to keep the lens clean for me, I'm sold.
 
Didn't anyone read the link to the rangefinder forum on the first page of the thread?
 
This has to be a joke, but you never know, there is always a sucker out there.
