Assuming that the proposed price was in USD, I agree with you Jeff and
congratulations on your exceedingly well timed purchase - a rather strange
time to start a BIN sale, if I may say! I do know of one 3Ti which sold a
little below your price in March 2005: 3880497420 sold for GBP565. Two
nicks on the bottom of the lens mount, but otherwise cosmetically perfect,
in box with all papers. And a jammed film advance which the seller reported
would cost GBP90 to fix - he was right - USD1250 all in :-)

Subject: [OM] Re: Your opinions on pricing for OM3 Ti
Hmmm .... funny you should ask right after I picked one up from the post
office.(7575537588)
Actually I think your price is right on. About a year ago Gordon had a
"contest" to see who could predict the closing price on an OM-3Ti. It sold
at close to $1550. Since then I've seen a few sell up to about $300 higher.
Other than the one I've referenced I don't think Ive seen any close
significantly lower.
One thing to keep in mind is the current very significant value of a box.
PentaxAmerica (yabe ID) has been buying a tremendous amount of stuff and
paying high prices if it has a box ...
The camera I referenced is spotless but doesn't have a box. It was sold as a
second chance offer to the highest bidder. Now to put batteries in it to see
if its electronics still lives...

Dear members,
Philippe and I are about to close a deal on my OM3 Ti and F280.
John Hermanson has looked at it and said it was a "beauty" except for a ding
and some paint scratches.
Philippe and I think that around 1500 for the body and an additional 100 for
the flash (which is in Ex. + condition, boxed, manual) would be reasonable.
We would like to ask your opinions on whether this is the right price for
this equipment.
Please look at the link attached. (I don't have a photo of the flash)
