Agreed I’ve been a Nikon shooters in Since 1970 I’m not about to dump my Nikon D8 50 and 25 Nikon high-quality lenses

Matt Granger can do what he wants, especially since he's doing it to get more views of his you tube videos. As for dumping Nikon gear, I have absolutely no intension of dumping any of my Nikon gear. Of my more than 15 interchangable lens cameras, only 3 are Nikon, a D7200, D500 and D850 and they all work just as good as when I bought them, so no reason to get rid of them. As for Nikon being behind in the mirrorless category, well, I don't own any Nikon mirrorless cameras and probably never will. I personally see no reason to dispose of my perfectly good Nikon DSLR'S for MILC'S because the end product, the images, produced by the MILC'S are really no better than those produced by DSLR'S.
I have nothing against mirrorless cameras, I happen to own a couple, both Canon, that I use with an adapter and my EF mount lenses. They work just fine. As for crop sensor mirrorless cameras, the current trend, along with top end models, appears to be relatively affordable and entry level full frame mirrorless cameras. The manufacturers will market what the people want to buy.

I have the opportunity to buy a used Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 ED VR AF-S
My other option is a Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD.
the used Nikkor for $900 in very good condition.
The new Tamron $949 + tax.
They are both US market.

Which is a
Is the Nikkor over priced?

I would strongly suggest Nikon you cannot beat their products

Get a Cadillac. Finding a particular song isn't any easier but the driving while you're waiting is a lot more pleasant.

50s cars were designed for distinctive looks. Today cars are designed for wind tunnels. So they all look alike.

Very nice, but you have only driven it about 250 miles a year? That's not even a good day's drive. If you like it so much, why not drive it? Maybe you have something else that you have fun driving. I'm almost as old as you are and I love driving and driving quickly. My current primary driver is a 2006 Mazda 3 Grand Touring with a 5 speed manual, Koni adjustable shocks and ultra high performance Bridgestone summer tires. It's got 175,000 miles on it (I bought it new) and it's fun to drive and as you can see, I drive it a lot. We did a 4,000 mile plus road trip in 11 days in it. Get it in the twisties, keep the revs up and have fun. A quick rev-matched double-clutched heel and toe downshift is good for the soul. It's not as fast as a Corvette, but I've had and continue to have fun with it. It is fast enough to get speeding tickets though. When it gets worn out, I'll probably replace it with another Mazda 3, or maybe a 2 series BMW. Unfortunately, I don't fit in a Miata (or a Lotus 7). BTW, I've got '67 Barracuda Formula S (small block V-8, 4 speed manual) that I got new that has been sitting in my garage for about 35 years awaiting restoration. Oh, it has 169,000 miles on it, with something like 6,000 of those at over 100 MPH when there were no speed limits in Nevada. My bottom line is that high performance cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, otherwise, you might as well be driving a Prius or a Camry.

As a sidelight, back when we needed a new minivan for our family of 7 and to tow our camping trailer, the deciding factor between a Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey was that the Honda handled better, so we bought it.

I'm trying to be a good soldier (civilian). We are all spoiled because we normally have such freedom. I hope everyone realizes that this Socialism departure is not pleasant and it could become the norm. There is no such thing as a little Socialism. It's all or nothing. Once this is done, and it eventually will be, I'm making sure this Socialism thing goes away.

I think of all the soldiers, police, nurses,
docs and other frontline people every day.
Say a prayer for them. They are the heros.
