And I think you’re right about the prices too. This and most Japanese cameras that weren’t exported to the US/EU seem to be all priced strictly by condition.
I actually just went through a streak of bad luck with the three “new” cameras in a row (analog.cafe/microblog/qopx). I thought I got good deals, but they all had to be sent back. So my new strategy is to spend a little more to avoid returning them later.
