John,
While some of us probably misunderstood you, I never wanted my comments to
seem like I was "attacking" you personally, just trying to point out how the
way you were proceeding seemed to me. I know you're not a bad guy, I just
think you were moving waaay too fast, especially for an item in this price
range. We're not talking a $100 used OM-1 after all, no, this IS a special
piece and a special price. People don't just drop 3-$4000 or so instantly on
someone they don't "know", I think they have to "ease" into it. [Except Tom
maybe <g>]
Best wishes to you too,
George

But I knew I couldn't come out and say-"$2000 + the best 500 word essay -Why
I need the Zuiko 350mm f2.8". I would have probably heard too many heart
breaking stories of dispair (I would have had a good story ready in the past
too if the opportu ity came up).
I have tried to do right with such a gem.
I have failed. To eBay I lay my hope in humankind. eBay has become my
conscious.
The internet IS evil ! See Bill Gates and Paul Allen what you have down? -Al
Gore I mean.... : )
Now, what if it doesn't hit reserve?
Then we all start again.
Maybe I will just keep the darn trouble maker. I have been trying to get a
picture of an albono raccon on the farm for 6 months now....yeah.... what
better lens?
See? There I go writing my own essay...
Best wishes all
John R
