Hi Wayne,
I just bought one from a secondhand photo shop for $25 - but with a
roughness on the helicoid (focussing), but the glass and diaphragm are
perfect. I think I got a bargain. As the eBay history shows a range of
$75 / $137 / $311 your price is ok too. A scuff on the front element will
mainly have an effect on flare. I find flare to be a problem on wide
lenses more than telephoto, so why not take it for a trial. Nothing to
lose (except some postage?)
good luck
jez

Subject: [OM] advice on lens needed
I put in the BIN on this lens, zuiko 100:2.8,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1374990449&rd=1
Seller says now that he has noticed a "scuff mark on the front that will
have no effect on your photography.... but it is not pristine". He has
offered to let me back out, or to return the lens for a full refund.
I am looking for a couple opinions; 1. is this a reasonable price for a
lens
in that condition?
