Re: A tail of two auctions...

Well let's see, $1825.00 is about what you'd expect to pay retail for 
the package in the first auction, whereas if I purchased the second body 
for only 1179.99 I'd have enough money left to buy the SMCP-FA 20-35 
f4.0 from b&h photo 499.95 and still have enough left over for a good 
128 to 256 CF card.  Hell B&H Photo sells the 18-35mm for 164.95. 
Economically it makes no sense.

Someone wondered how come a 35mm f3.5 Pentax lens went for what they
thought and outrageous price, well take a gander at these
two auctions.  I make no other comment.

There is no rational explanation...

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war.
During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during 
peacetime.
