Sorry, if I have misinterpreted your intentions please receive my 
apollogies.
Maybe I´m a little bit prejudiced towards e-bay after reading on the
list so much about it.

Oh, there is no obligation to offer Olympus stuff first on the list,
it´s just a courtesy towards other members. If something is listed
already on e-bay, it´s not neccesary to anounce this on list, because
people interested in it, are already observing Olympus offers on e-bay.
So e-bay is e-bay and the list is the list, I think the list agreed to
keep both seperate and the only exeption should have been realy
sensational offers.
