It’s tough looking, but also a lot of fun.. I’m sure you can get some good functional ones. Or parts for dirt cheap.. which honestly would be the main reason for digging through.

If you are handy with repairing cameras places like this one can be a gold mine.

100%, fixing one of these has a nearly non existent barrier.. it’s already fucked if it doesn’t work. Or you strip it for parts and learn more about the actual camera you’re wanting fix.

That's the beauty of this. If you find a camera that has a working part you need for your camera then you are in business!

Yeah this place would be awful to my wallet.. and plenty of display / fix attempt models it’s happily take home.

The store that has all of this has an owner who knows his stuff heavily, and his prices reflect. Nothings cheap there

Yes I know my stuff but I give eBay prices unless you’re looking at the rare items

We do have about 8-9 million new old stock camera parts available for those parts that are hard to find
