Come on guys.  All those scratches and nicks add to the 'patina' of your camera.  Have you looked at a working pro's camera lately - they look like they've been through the washing machine?  My cameras and lenses have lots of scratches and nicks all over them - I love it.  Each one has a story to tell and reminds me of where I was when I banged it or did this and that.  I don't keep my gear to sell, I keep it to use it, so if it looks like it's been used - that's fantastic.  I'm only talking of cosmetic damage of course - I'm not talking about damage and breakages - that is terrible - I just means small scratches and scrapes that add to the look of your camera.  I'm not being a smart @#$ here either, I truly mean this and that's how I view any dings or 'patina' on my cameras.
