No, it's not. That's how I got my 35-80/2.8 When it first popped up on
eBay, I was able to convince the seller to dispense with the auction
hassle and the possibility of phony buyers etc, and just sell it to me.
It helped that I also was able to advise him with some web site problems
he had. I didn't want that lens to sit on eBay too long and have some
(other) crazed Zuikoholic push the price up to above new.
EBay has a simple procedure for ending auctions early, no questions
asked.
