Now that is interesting about "neopan2", if true, though I didn't see
that post here. Whoever this person is, he/she does a good job a sniping
a variety of OM items - I have noticed a desire for hotshoes, TTL
adapters and the like, and some lenses. Before the conspiracy theories
go too far, there are others who appear regularly - there's one at the
moment avidly collecting 100N pouches. I know, I have been looking for
one at a reasonable price, but got sniped and will get sniped...
While I have done reasonably well on Ebay - at least I think that - it
does annoy me a little having to "compete" with others who clearly are
buying for resale. I'm one of those who is looking for an item for my
personal use - I don't have any desire to acquire multiples. I
understand sniping and I have done it when the timing was OK. I find
that it something that I REALLY want comes up, I hope that it has a
reasonable "BIN", and I will pay a small premium to avoid hassle.
Trouble is, it is hard to get bargains this way, and like everyone else,
I would like to get the odd bargain from time to time.
