A recent Shopgoodwill lot garnered 20 bids and finished at over $800. I was surprised because I don't see anything there which looks that special.

Any ideas about what drove the price so high?

Thanks, boriscleto. Wow! I've seen some Zuikos go for huge prices on shopgoodwill, but I had no idea about the OM-3.

Before I started watching shopgoodwill, I never knew there were such rabid Olympus fans out there.
The prices I've seen for the 40mm f/2 lens are hard to believe.

I'm glad I haven't caught the Olympus collecting bug. Yet.

I’ve got a couple OM-1s, an OM-2, an OM2000 & an OM PC…just a couple of Olympus 50s & the 75-150 though.

Perhaps that is a sample of what you might be able to produce with said camera?

Maybe it's been converted into one of those nanny spy cams?

You know, it does say it comes with a bag - perhaps the idea is to walk around with you camera incognito...
