It could be a great conversation piece about your first camera and the prices in the old days.

Life is too short to drink cheap wine! Even that isn't true because everyone's taste is different !

$40 is nothing. You are the opposite of losing your mind. Watch some episodes of Antique Road Show. Remember the woman who bought an end table for $25, which sold for over $600,000. A friend of mine bought a violin from Europe sight unseen, for $2,000. Turns out to be 200 yrs old by a famous violin maker (no, not Strat). He spend another $1,000 fixing it up. Now it's worth about $20,000.
But why are we talking money? It's all about fun and enjoyment.

No you didn't lose your mind completely.
Now you are a certified "half wit", not a complete "nincompoop".

Don't feel bad' I rescued a loving cat, they told me. She still hasn't come out from under the bed. Oh yes, why this comment . Took her to the vet for a checkup and got a $1000 bill for dental work. Now my wife won't let me out of the house without a minder.

A Brownie. You are a collector? Only cameras I even think about are ones I can get 135, 120, or cut sheet film for. Kodak discontinued most "old", "antique" or "obsolete" formats in 1984. Or better yet, digital today!
Mine wife is usually on-board with what I buy even if it turns out to have been a mistake. I have a used smc-Pentax DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 Zoom on order for my BD. Lets hope I put some use to it. It is a heavy high end one like my 16-50mm f/2.8. I usually try to use smaller, lighter Primes. But I have no primes above 55mm to 90mm. And one of the reasons I want this Zoom is because it has [IF] focusing, which is rare for any Pentax lens. Its all good.
