The fact is that the Realist maintains a very healthy demand
by users.  150,000 Realist were made.  So it is not a hot
collector's item.  Other cameras of similar era that have
only collectible value, go for $20.  The Realist is strong
at the $100+ mark.  Look at ebay.  People are buying
Realists to use them.  I get emails every day.  People who
rediscover stereo thanks to the Realist.  People who want
to get started again and ask for help.

Bottom line:  There is real demand from real users for
the Real-ist camera!
