This is the 5th or 6th time you have mentioned eBay auctions to the list.
Many people on this list follow eBay closely for bargains on Pentax gear.
In the past, they have become irritated by the posting of live auctions to the list.
If you are the seller, it is fine to mention your auction, but if not...
Calling the attention of 400 Pentax enthusiasts to an interesting or cheap item
is a certain way to get it's price bid-up and make bargains disappear.
There is always somebody on the list who is willing and able to pay more than you.
Three points on the medical set you highlighted.
1) This is sold by TEAM-PHOTO. There is a separate thread running on this list about how they are a problem to deal with.
2) They have been listing this set for the past 3 months. I have personally seen it close without any bidders at least 4 other times.
3) Their price is way too high. This is a Pentax ringlight flash and a Pentax F or FA100/2.8 Macro. US$550 would be a good retail price. US$350 would be closer to a bargain.
Your enthuisam is great. You should spend some time at Boz's site as it is a virtual encyclopedia on Pentax K-Mount gear. Ask your questions about the gear, just don't bombard us with eBay links.
