Hi folks,
Tom Scales' query about contacting an eBay member was just a day or so
before I got this mail (below).
I have been looking for an inexpensive Zuiko 50 3.5 macro (Joke ;-) not! ) for
my daughter and have been bidding on quite a few during the last 2 weeks.
(The prices on this lens model have stayed remarkably constant and there
seems to be a steady flow of buyers coming out of the woodwork).
The vendor of the lens below has had only one bid with about one day to go
and has obviously looked around to see if & where he can curry up a little
interest. Sensibly, he thought a person who has been bidding would be a
good place to start. Top marks for initiative and grit. So clearly eBay now has
a system whereby they forward messages.
I nearly deleted it on the server without letting it anywhere near my machine
as I didn't recognise the sender and the "Subject" seemed like just what a
virus message would have, but decided to trust the virus filters my ISP has in
place and my personal antivirus system.
Cheers, Brian
