I'm envious too. The "best" item that I have seen recently in Ottawa
goodwill stores was an Oly Trip 35. Otherwise, the only cameras were
(generally no-name) plastic perils.

Sheesh! I need a better Goodwill store. Last I checked the only camera
they had was a broken plastic one bearing a label that said "Sneers" --
or some such.
;o)
Years ago I saw a Nakamichi Dragon in the box setting next to the front
counter. Offered to buy it immediately but was told "It has to go
downtown for processing." Of course I asked where it would end up.
"No idea." For all I know it's still stuck in back room somewhere.
Or in the system rack of an Goodwill employee.

felt guilty after picking up the mint Nikon FE for $2.12 including tax 2
days ago. Goodwill rocks! Of course that means more to me now that I
also picked up a set of Klipsch KBS 3.1 bookshelfs for $16.00. I'm
looking forward to retirement when I can haunt the thrifts 8 hours a
day! Simple pleasures for simple minds :) I hope everyone had a good
and safe New Years. I lost a good friend right before Christmas.. So it
goes.
