First dibs to the list, next week I'm putting the new prices on Usenet and
several other venues. Here's what you missed:

I've only listed that which has sold because I got a rude email in response
to my last posting, asserting that I'd never sell any of it. Of course,
this bitter individual neglected to make an offer on anything..

camera, Olympus OM-3Ti, brown
Asking $1150 (have two offers of $1000)
and more...

Jan,
I do appreciate the fact that you give the list For Sale Information, and I
also think most list members do because most of us also seem to have some
(or much) collectors blood flowing in our bodies.
What I cannot appreciate as much is the fact that you want to have us list
members bidding against each other here by mentioning offers you allready
have received. I think that for "auction like" sales there are other
places.
I think that posting a for sale is okay and then both buyer and seller
should go off-line. Of course there can be some price heckling between
them, but that should stay off-line. If you as a seller are not satisfied
with the bid you should keep the item.
I hope not to have offended you or anyone else here, but I just don't like
to see a bidding war on the list.
Wiliam
