TIL the antique mall in St. Louis is a total graveyard for vintage cameras

Honestly, I was there last weekend and saw a whole glass case of old SLRs. Every single one had a price tag over $150, but they were all just dusty display pieces. I watched a guy pick up a Pentax K1000, try to wind the advance lever, and it was totally seized. He just put it back and walked away. Ngl, it's frustrating seeing good gear left to rot when someone could fix it up. Has anyone else tried talking to these vendors about buying 'for parts' units?

Their insurance won't cover a working camera.

Ugh, that's so typical. I read a blog post once about how those places never maintain the gear, they just let it sit and get worse.
