>>4290545Above the novelty of owning a relatively practical item from an "evil empire" that otherwise only existed in history textbooks, it's because they're $40+shipping. At that point why not throw a coin into the QA slot machine and see if you get something workable?
I would ask why more of these people don't buy the used Prakticas that actually sold decently on this continent but I think it still has to do with the novelty factor of owning something that actually says "Made in USSR/CCCP on it" in the current year.
