have an OM-1 up right now. Just this morning someone emailed me asking

Yup, they "cancelled" one of my OM-1 auctions, but not before I had
already ended it! They refunded my fees and deleted it from the
database.  All because I had the word "mercury" identifying the battery
that was in it.

I decided that there weren't enough sellers identifying the battery (if
any) in OM-1 cameras up for auction. So I made a point of having the
correct battery in mine and telling potential buyers. I've now been duly
warned.
