The buyer is from Russia, seller has 0-feedback and 305 USD for a Smena.
Even I think this is totally insane...

Hi,

I was intended to buy this camera, but the price ... [:D] Just for comparison, I have paid appr. USD11 for my early Smena-6 locally. Need to mention, what next day I came back to the seller with heavy bottle of Scottish Whisky ... [:D]

Best Regards,
Aidas

Kind day, friends and colleague!
You study Russian cameras, but do not know wide Russian soul [:p].
Let's check up, whether there are in Ukraine decent people [:D].
Yours faithfully.

With all these prices I think the good old days of cheap Russian cameras are coming to an end... now we'll have to pay real prices [:)]. Good for all of us who already own bunch of rare stuff I guess.

Hello!

...this camera is amazing, while made from plastic totally ... [:)]. Something similar I was looking in furniture shops with plastic cameras on the shelfs ... [:D] Next time I have to be more attentive, may be Fed 670 among them ...

But seriously, this item is real historical show-piece and lucky guy, who will possess it soon ...

Best Regards,
Aidas
