YES.
My Exakta 66.
That was a long time ago. About 50 years.
I only weep about it occasionally now.

I didn't actually sell it. I traded it. But it left my possession. Same difference.

Mark,
I've never sold a camera. I have given a camera away and have mislaid a few. The same with lenses. I do regret giving a Cosinon 24mm in PK fit away.
Dave.

Yep, and on more than one occasion too  I had a Kowa Super 66 that I sold for way too little when I needed some money a few years back. Doug |

I never sold a camera, but I actually regret, that I gave one away. An old "Traveller" ( digital P&S sold in a german supermarket ). As I noticed later, it could take awesome "vintage looking" movies. I didn't appreciate it at that time, but today, I would be happy to use it again for some artistic projects.

I only give cameras to my immediate family and happily they are all coming back to me because all of them have upgraded to digital. Since I started collecting, I have never sold a camera.

No regrets in the selling department but plenty of them in the "why didn't I buy that" department.

Hardly ever sell them but I sold an Olympus Trip a couple of weeks ago. Paid £10.00 for it , decided it did not fit it with my other cameras and sold it for £30.00. Very slightly regretting it - but only very slightly.

Nearly 27 years ago I sold about 25 cameras to KEH camera company in Atlanta to finance my honeymoon. I got a little over $1200 for them. I have since been able to slowly replace almost all of them. I don't regret doing it, but it was tough at the time.

Wayne, some list!
Kodaker, firstly, welcome. It seems you got a reasonable deal there.

I know it's not much to write home about, Wayne, but I regret selling an old Savage 340B - a bolt action, box mag rifle chambered in 30-30 Win. I think you can find them used for about a buck-fifty... I'm not going back though!
