Going by the number of zeroes in the price they must be quite collectible.

The used camera market is full of surprises. Someone has recently opened
a shop for second-hand analog cameras, here in town. One of his offers:

https://cameradealer.de/products/olympus-mju-ii-inkl-o

Had a look on ebay and they're going for around 250 to 300 euros. Got
one in my camera ancestors' shrine. Bought it new, years ago, for a bit
over 100 euros.

Are collectors actually that crazy?

Checking B, I get a price of just under $34,000-odd US for two M11
bodies, colour & monochrome, with current 35/1.4, 50/1.4 & 90/2.0
lenses, all new & warrantied. Buy that, some nice wider lens & a used
m3. Still less than half what is being asked for a used Chinese m3
copy.

My local camera shop has had a Red Flag camera kit come in for sale. Going by 
the number of zeroes in the price they must be quite collectible.

Here's some more info about how these kits came to be:
