Got one just like the add with the flash attachment. Willing to let it go for 1/2 of what they are asking (so $75). :D

I buy alot of old cameras, mostly for TTV shooting, like DuaFlex, ArcFlex, etc. Seldom pay more than $15 for them.

Alright I can be convinced to sell mine for $300 But I will include the Original Carton for the camera and the flash.

Yeah, I tried the TTV thing for a project. I had several old cameras to try it with, since most of them got for $15-$25...

Maybe the $150 craigslist camera has a bar of gold hidden inside? Or maybe it has an undeveloped roll of film from Hitler's final hours inside it?!? There must be some sort of "armstrong moon walk" level of significance to demand such an outrageous price for a $20 camera!!!!!

Naah, it's just someone that has something old and thinks it must be rare and valuable. Happens all the time.
The ease of buying things on the internet and Ebay have actually depressed the collectibles market. I have a whole box of MtG Alpha & Beta generation cards that used to be worth alot, and now not much, plus a collection of original Avon funky cologne containers that my grandfather in law had, also worth next to nothing now.
