<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2545048, member: 36230"]I'm sure we all have at one time or another, if not with coins with something else. In the other room I have a camera purchased some years ago that I keep around as a reminder not to be so foolish in the future. It's a Topcon Unirex, an utter junk vintage leaf shutter SLR, that I stupidly <i>assumed</i> was the very highly regarded RE model from the same manufacturer. It wasn't much money and I admit that I knew better at the time, but the opportunity presented itself and I jumped. The seller did nothing wrong, and presented the camera in a way that only an idiot would assume it to be something else, but I didn't want to lose it at what would've been a stellar price...</p><p><br /></p><p>The thrill of the hunt in whatever one's interest are is a big part of the fun. I know this and can't fault anyone for getting overexcited. My first post was mostly meant a suggestion that this could be a good yet inexpensive lesson, but when the seller was falsely accused of misrepresentation more needed to be said. JMHO, of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
