also.....we bought our very expensive , to us anyway, 19 inch Quasar tv set for $400 back in the late 70's and we also bought a beautiful Canon 35 mm with extra lenses and I don't know if we could give the Canon away now....even Goodwill wouldn't take the tv.....

point is....many, many things are cheaper and better now, and even the Stock market is doing well.....

I remember my first screaming IBM AT at $4500+. The one with the superfast '286 chip and BASIC included.

What model Canon camera do you own? If it's a desirable model put it up on eBay an it will be snapped up in short order--there is a burgeoning business in good-condition used SLR's nowadays.

If the Canon's a FTB, I'll buy it from you. Serious.
