Hot take: a guy at the camera swap in Cleveland told me Kodak made 30 million Brownies, and now my $8 thrift store find feels different

30 million is a wild number but here is the part that gets me. Most of those were sold dirt cheap for like a dollar back in the 1900s, so they were never meant to be rare. What makes yours cool is the ones that survived, not the ones that got made. Everybody tossed theirs in a drawer or a junk box once they got a real camera. So the $8 price is not about how many exist, it is about how few people bothered to keep one. That swap guy basically told you the whole market in one stat.
