It's a wonder you're not a widow!
Judge should've made him return the $100 to the buyer and returned the camera to you.
I had a little Minolta I liked, too. My Mom let my sister take it to college with her, and sis decided it wasn't fancy enough, so she lost it. She knew mom would get it replaced with whatever sis wanted . . . she got a fancy new Nikon and I had no camera at all - just had to use the little point and shoot instamatic POS mom liked. Sis even managed to mess up the marvelous old ContaFlex that belonged to my dad. Now that camera took some gorgeous photos. I'd love to get it reconditioned.
