Bargain, but I missed it.

I had a dental appointment this morning. In the shopping centre where my dentist is, there was a kind of boot sale.

On one stall I spied a box labelled Nikon D90. Inside it was no Nikon D90, but a Yashica rangefinder (Electro 35 or similar name), a Pentax ME Super, an smcp-M 50/1.7, a Prinzflex 100mm, and a flash to fit Pentax (it said on the box).

How much for this lot, I asked? 10 Euros came the reply.

In hindsight I should have asked them to keep it for me, but I was late for my appointment and I'd left my wallet in the car, which is something I've never done before.

Needless to say, when I came out, it had gone.

Ah!...the 'if only' feeling!

Aww unlucky!!! Those Yashicas are worth a fair bit on Ebay too.
