The seller says in the listing:

Smart guy! That is a real long-term investment!

They are the other 68 Noct owners, all interested in what price he can get away with.

Not sure Nikon will still honor its warranty. |
Unless the warranty was for some 30 years, then it's somewhat unlikely, don't you think?
Not sure how this snake-oil salesman can have a 100% rating on ebay. |

how is a nikon mirrorless conceptually and functionally different to the existent offers (sony for ex, which had full frame cameras for years now)? Other than having the "nikon" badge, you'd still need an adapter. I really don't get such comments...

I keep getting notification of the 'rarest prototype on earth' on my e-bay pages. A 1959 Canon zoom. The BIN is $40k !
I have this idea that at the top of this pile of lens aficionados we are part of, there's a dozen or so high rollers who spend their day stroking a white cat at their desk, while buying the rarest of the rare off each other for megabucks. I used to laugh it off as wild imagination. Now I'm not so sure!
