On list, if we limit the discussion to cameras, you'd sell a camera you merely "like," if circumstances arise. Provided you don't use it for business, etc. On the other hand, if you really, really like a camera a lot, or "love" it, the depth of "like" is so entrenched you'll probably never sell it. Keep it and use it forever, and be very pleased in the process. Much like a boy- or girlfriend, or wife/husband, I'd say. . . Just my two cents. . . keith whaley
