The number of "surplus" high class SLR cameras in homes is bound to far outnumber the number of customers, including the "arty", so sell'em quickly. As for schools, well, at all levels they generally lag several decades behind the power curve, but even stultified college instructors may want to avoid escalating film costs. Even my backasswards local high school is into digital computer photo-editing.

Think of what your frontier ancestors (if you had any that made it that far and didn't stay home picking up lumps of coal along the tracks to keep the shanty warm in Winter) must have felt as the 1870s opened and firearms using brass-cased ammo began to replace those using cap and ball. Other than giving'em to the kids, the only thing left for those old percussion cap arms and was to hang'em over the fireplace along side Grandad's obsolete flintlook, and hope that some silly collector would later pay many, many times their original cost to hang'em over his fireplace or in his grandiose collection.

Several weeks ago, I paid a modest $1500 - a "bargain - for an 1851 Colt "Navy", not even a rare pistol. I believe it sold new for about $6.00, back when $6.00 was a week's salary (for a trained workman) .

...But then I recall buying gas at $ .199 per gallon and eating good 20 cent hamburgers. What's changed? The gas and a good hamburger still cost about the same....(but the bottled water costs more than the gas).
