Church Street in Toronto is another one of those high-priced areas. Most of
the 3.5 Realists around there were around $300 Cdn last time I checked.

There's a Nishika in Calgary that's been sitting with a price tag for $30
Cdn. No takers, even with only one tax! I've had offers from individuals to
buy their cameras for $20 Cdn each, and when I refused they just gave them
to me. I  would therefore debate any current monetary value as a
collectible, only for their value in relation to other plastic lenticular
cameras, which are readily available at under $100


Regarding the "Unnamed Store" Thread, it seems some wires have got crossed
here. I don't recall any negative implications to a well known and respected
stereo dealer, neither was any connection intended to a well respected
Oregon camera store.  


Shall we start it again or just give up on it completely?
