JCO, I don't want to pick on you, but consider your example. The M 100mm f2.8 that you got for $50 was a great bargain. It was listed at a BIN (Buy-It-Now) price that was less than half its real value. I saw the lens before you purchased it. I thought about snatching the bargain, but I have two copies now... So, I decided to leave it for the next fellow who wanted one. I put it on my ebay watch list and shortly found it was bought by you. You took advantage of the PDML notice and grabbed it. I don't fault you for it, but you have a lot of screw mount Pentax stuff. You are always buying screwmount on ebay and often selling too. Perhaps you are a collector/hobbiest and support your hobby by buying and selling Pentax equipment. I've considered doing this myself. And there is the rub... There are dealers on the PDML. There are collector/hobbiests on the PDML. And there are pure photographers on the list. I would rather see a lens go to a deserving hobbyist who was going to use it than to a collector or to a reseller. Regards, Bob S.
