Great Score

So my wife and I visited some local yard sales this past weekend (we're avid "Yard-Salers") and among some great scores, I found the mother of all photo deals. An older gentleman has been an enthusiast for years, and has decided that it was time to pack it in. He's moved on to gardening and pruning his meticulous lawn. He had the following equipment with a sign stating "Complete Photo Outfit - $100":

1 - Olympus OM-1 Manual SLR
1 - Vivitar 100-300mm F/3.8 manual lens
1 - Olympus 50mm F/2.0 lens
1 - Vivitar TeleConverter
2 - Vivitar flashes
8 - Tamron filters
2 - Tripods
1 - New cable release
2 - Leather carry bags

For once, I didn't even hesitate, as I paid in cash, full asking price. Not to mention he was a nice guy that "just wanted a good home" for the equipment. He found a good home!
