I must be a cheapskate's cheapskate.  The most I ever spent for a camera was 
$2,000 USD for a mint Pentax 67with meter prism, and that price included 
three pristine lenses, a Sunpak flash, and a Lowepro camera bag, all without 
a smudge on them.
The most I ever paid to buy a Leica was $350 for a used M3.
