Yes Tom!  Here is an interesting story:  After I sold all the Realist
on Saturday, I only had one left on Sunday.  It was missing the lens
cap and was reduced from $105 to $95.

A lady, professional 2D photographer, was interested in this camera
but was not sure.  I swear I spent 3 hours talking to her.  Three hours
is no exaggeration.  I told her everything I know about stereo
photography, I showed her how to load and operate the camera, I showed 
her slides taken with the Realist.  I talked about hyperstereo, 
slide bars, the works!  She just could not make up her mind.
I think at some point she left to watch the stereo shows (following
my recommendation - she had just come to the convention on Sunday).
Later she came back and after some more talking, she bought it.

Now, I don't think I have ever paid less than $75 to buy a Realist.
I have already spent 2 hours checking, adjusting, cleaning this one.
And I need to talk for 3 hours to sell it for $95!  Tell me about
profit...  Getting the camera to good use is what this is all about.
