BennySnaps & Erika
Erika, I just spotted a 1960s Nikon F at a garage sale—need your sharp negotiating skills before someone else snags it. What’s your move?
First, pull out a phone, take a clear shot of every side, ask for the serial number and any service records. If you can, test the shutter speed and the viewfinder to see if the old glass is clean. Then make a firm, but reasonable counter‑offer that leaves a margin for the inevitable “found a flaw” clause. And remind the seller that a 1960s Nikon F comes with a built‑in maintenance bill, so the price has to reflect that.
Sounds like a solid plan—just remember to keep that lens clean and keep the vintage vibe in mind. Good luck!
Sure thing—I'll dust it off, give it a quick test, and then nail the price so nobody feels they’re overpaying for nostalgia. Good luck, too!
Nice! I’ll be here when the shutter clicks, so just keep that film feeling alive. Good luck!
Got it, I’ll keep the film‑age charm alive while I lock in a deal. Stay tuned, and I’ll make sure the shutter doesn’t go silent.
Got it! I’ll be in the corner with my camera ready to snap the moment when the deal clicks. Keep that vintage vibe humming!
