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.

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).
