I realize this is,nt a find as good as finding a nikon. but i bought a new never been used sears ks super still in plastic bag with silica in camera body box and lens box. all nice features of up to 3200 asa motor drive option etc. down side only up to 500 shutter speed. back door light seals all gummy. i,ve already removed old material for later reseal job. even lithium battery who knows exactly how old it is still in package works like it was made yesterday. only thing missing in camera body lens package was a original  receipt. sticker on side of box from store priced it at originally 199.00 buyer paid reduced price of only 99.00. i bought it for 5.98 plus they had new focal k mount wide angel lens for 3.98 . i was out total of 9.96 not bad catch even for a sears ricoh made camera in new condition.

i visit local thrift stores weekly ,goodwills d.a.v. and salvation army stores. i wonder about the ones the other guy got. i,ve made some good finds over years. made money on few when there were local camera shows .now i just hoard my finds. waiting to actively start taking pics. again some day. depending on ones geographic location depends on what types of cameras one can find locally. i,ve boughten couple russian cameras locally in nice condition. what types of cameras are prevelant in your part of world Msiegel. others are welcome to post also.
