For a while now, I've seen used Nikon D1 bodies (first generation on up)
sold at eBay for, on the average, about $300 US. On places like KEH.com,
moderately battered ones go for even more. It is an older SLR, and
boasts a whopping 2.65 megapixels.
Any idea why even "paperweight-condition" cameras are fetching high
prices? Like the time I tried to illustrate "nothingness", I'm drawing a
blank.
Some of the owners probably feel they're getting back only a tiny
pittance; that was a $5500 body when new.
(by the way, is "paperweight" an obsolete term yet?)
I think so; since windows don't open in offices anymore, there's no need
for them :-).
