Hmm, alarm bells are ringing!
There was no "Did not meet reserve" message from the forst sale, so why was
it re-listed?
Took a peek at the first buyer's feedback - mostly a seller, only 7
feedbacks from sellers, the last four all from "tuiteka" - for whom the
buyer left no feedback. Something is amiss - a shill?
The relisted sale looks clean - the buyer bought another Olympus 35 from
Jaap Korten a few weeks ago - 7584648941

Looks like he tried flipping it on eBay but his plans didn't quite work out:

He got $548US the first time, $448US the second time. I wonder if he'll
list it again.

It's an interesting model just for the fact that it's the first 35mm film
camera that Olympus produced. They do show up occassionally and prices can
very wildly. About $500US is average.
