I think, as someone that does not have $75,000 to arbitrarily spend on a camera, that perhaps the mindset of someone who does have that sort of money escapes me.
I cannot imagine, even winning the lottery, actually spending $75 on a camera...regardless of how great a camera it was.
It could however, just be the difference between someone who's first car was BMW 7 series, and someone who's car was a 1974 VW rabbit.
I think it's pretty obvious which category I fell into.
you have the mindset of the collector and then you have the mindset of the wealthy. combine them and it can be jaw-dropping. handbags are another category where you see this. you can buy a horrible bag at Walmart or you can go to the other extreme and buy a Birkin. June saw a new auction world record for a handbag: $223,000. That's not a typo. 223K for a used bag. It's an entirely different world.
