Bought a Maxxum 7000

This morning I bought a pristine camera shoulder bag containing a Maxxum 7000 and case with a f1.7 lens, filters, cable release, 2800 flash gun and case, one unopened roll of film, another film in the camera and various other small bits and pieces and instruction booklets. The whole lot is virtually indistinguishable from new.
Here's the interesting bit. There is also a sheaf of paper-work showing the entire above kit was bought at the same time from Fedco Van Nuys (no idea who or where in the US they are) at a cost of $479.62 on the 31st July 1986.
It seems one film was put in the camera and 19 shots taken then it was all put in the shoulder bag and forgotten - a time capsule!
