For £124 this fossil could be mine.

I wonder what the "professional" testing involved. Put batteries in it and fired it I guess.

None of his items are under £100 - but he does offer free collection in person.

I think he must have access to a Time Machine, and these are actually from April 1st.

From the same seller, who can resist?

This is the second time recently I have posted about a crazily priced Pentax Autorobot flash. Perhaps the second seller saw the first one and assumed that was a fair price.

It's because it's "carefully packaged." Those handling charges are a bear sometimes.

Ah, that explains it. I notice it is coming from 'Land of Cloud' - more like Cloud Cuckoo Land, surely.

And not just any old Land of Cloud -- it's a "Collectable Oasis".

The box looks a bit tattered; I'd expect a lower price.

Adaptor for a Sunpak 622 Flash Unit.

They don't seem to be embarrassed by the fact that the original new label is still
showing $11.95, but now, used, they want $74.69 (plus $160.37 shipping to me).

They don't seem very rare - there are several on Ebay right now.

This is an adaptor that plugs into the flash unit body with a socket to receive
510v from an external battery. I don't think there are any electronics inside.
For some reason Sunpak did not simply put the 510v socket directly on the
flash body like they did for their other units at the time.
