There was a time when it was not a myth. They would mark down imperfections but charge a premium for the like-new. And when you bought EX or EX+ -- it might as well have been new. But times have changed. The current economy doesn't help. Film stuff is so cheap now ... At an auction here I saw a Bronica ETRs with 3 lenses sell for $200. Yesterday @ thrift shop I got a K1000, a CE-4, and 3 lenses for $40. That was the expensive purchase. On the cheaper side I got Canonet 28 for $2.99 and a Minox CD 70 for $4.99.
