My point is that if a Deardorff of that age in that condition doesn't command a huge premium, then the probability of the future value of a Zone VI being a big help in retirement isn't very likely. So my conclusion was use it, and take care of it.
There are certain cameras where NOS condition, box, paperwork, etc. would make the item quite valuable. If you had an M3 in that condition, for example.
