As one of the List Mom's Lap Dogs, I have to say that there was
nothing in your post that bothered me. However, I will state
that you'll be far better off just selling the gear as a
seperate transaction to the acquisition of the digital gear.
You'll be a hundreds of dollars ahead.
When posting things for sale on the list, I would recommend that
we avoid the "highest bidder" posts. If you want to do
highest-bidder, stick to EBay. If you want to say "Miatani
signed PenF body -- $1200 OBO (or best offer)", that's fine.
WTT (Want to Trade) is usually a good deal when you have a
blacknosed 85/2 that you'd like to trade for a 35/2 or something
like that. Trading entire kits is problematic as it's such an
"all or nothing" kind of thing. I have an equivelent digital
camera to what you are trading, but it wouldn't be to either of
our best interests to trade. I recommend that you sell the
entire kit (either line item it here on the list or individual
item sales through EBay) and use that money to purchase a brand
new E-500 kit from B&H. This way, you get a nice, shiny camera
and lenses with a full warranty.
