I'm not interested either because I'm just too picky about my OM stuff. An
exception might be things I plan to sell anyway. /jim

An interesting idea, but I'm not particularly enthusiastic for a
couple of reasons.
Stuff sometimes gets lost in transit. I mailed a Zuiko 200/4,
with a small fungus farm growing inside, to Mark Dapoz on April 30
of this year. It never got there, and I don't think there's much
question but that it's never going to get there. It's not a big
loss, but it was complete with proper box in good condition, which
I think Mark wanted more than the lens. What if it had been a
precious?
Secondly, like Tom, I've got some stuff I definitely wouldn't want
to risk, especially in light of the aforementioned experience:
21/2, 50/2, 90/2, 100/2, 35-80/2.8, any of the macro bellows
lenses, not even the 180/2.8
