Would you take advantage of an uninformed seller?

Not a bad idea, but what would the title be?

"How many of Fred A. Fotoman (dec'd)'s widow's Leica M3s should you buy at a yard sale for $20 and put Kodak bulk rolled film in, and would it be ethical or religiously appropriate to do so?" would be a snappy title, I think

Maybe "If I'd wanted your opinion, I'd have given it to you"?

That's a good one too!

Unpopular only with some folks. Realistic to others. Done by even more but they won't admit to it.

"Popular" or not, everyone is entitled to their opinion; everyone is free to state what action they would feel comfortable doing. The poll is meant to reflect only those differences; it doesn't matter whether I or anyone else agrees or disagrees with anyone else.

...and how many people would think the quality was just as good as medium or large format because they can't see a difference.

We are in total agreement. I would even go so far as to say that folks are free to not express their opinion too. :smile:

Fred A. Fotoman dies. His widow, Exa, is selling his Leica M3 at a yard sale for $20

Just take it, since no one is looking anyway.

Haggle the price down to $5, telling Exa it's an old film camera no one would use anymore.

Buy it for $20 and congratulate yourself on a good deal.

Tell Exa it's worth more than $20 and offer a larger amount (e.g. $100-$500).

Tell Exa it's worth much more and mutually research & decide on a price.

Something else (explain).
