$238.50 is a REAL GOOD price on a 40/2. I sold one of mine for $350 last
year, and I thought that was a bit low. My Ebay history shows 13 successful
auctions at an average of $495, with the lowest priced lens going for $405.
I think that the labeling of the 6/4 auction without the Zuiko name
probably hurt the seller. The title was:
"OLYMPUS OM PANCAKE 2.0/40mm LENS & CAPS"
So searches for "Zuiko" wouldn't return this auction.
Oh, well, whoever teranceb is on Ebay certainly is happy!.

Michiel, you are 3 days too late. There was a Zuiko 40/2 auction off
on Ebay that closed 6/4/00 (price was $238.50, and reserve was met).
Should have asked the question a little earlier.
