That must be Precision Camera which spent forever trying to sell an
8mm for $2000 when other dealers wanted $800-1000. Maybe they should have
tried competitive prices. Honestly, some of these stores must think they
are married to the gear. They spend years trying to sell pieces they could
sell immediately for a small price cut. (Although for the 8mm above, a big
cut would be needed.) One reason for Keh's success is that they cut prices
when items don't move after a month or two. On several items they have
the cheapest price I've seen from a dealer.
