Two weeks ago I posted a Yashica rangefinder on CameraQuest's rangefinder discussion list. I had paid $263 on EBay; I tried to sell it to fellow list members for $185. When I had no takers after 1 week, I posted a classified on a more widely read site for $225 with whose readers I felt no connection. It sold yesterday and I shipped it today. But for a $40 shortfall I would have gladly let one of my RF list buddies have it.
But what is someone to do who has, say, a 135/1.8 PKA*, two of which fetched $1800 and $1,810 in mid 2001? I don't think any of us at PDML could come up with that kind of money without risking divorce. Should the seller ask $1,200 and cheat himself of $600? Or should he say, "If anyone on the list wants it, it's yours for $1,800"? I know that Pal grappled with this in recent months, but I can't recall how it turned out.
