Yep. I saw it four or five days ago. Been watching it all
week. Please don't mention ebay auctions on the list.
This is similar to the 'how to unsubscribe' thing about how other lists
work. There are some lists which actively encourage telling all and sundry
about live listings (which has just cost me cash because someone blabbed
about a rarity being up elsewhere I had been watching for ten days) and I'm
really not sure who this benefits - other than the seller. I really don't
understand why some other lists allow it. Fine if it's a bloke selling a
wedding dress etc in a bizarre listing, not so hot when it's a piece of
glass as above.
I just don't buy this argument. eBay has enough people looking at their
auctions that a few PDMLers won't make any difference.
That lens isn't mislisted under Kowa medium format or something where
it's hard to find. Anyone who does a 600mm lens search is going to see it.
