Ken, Your point is well-taken; I plead guilty to alerting the list of EBay opportunities. I believe the record will show that I call attention only to EBay's non-U.S. sites, notably Germany. My reasoning is that I want someone on the list to get it, rather than an outsider. Especially if the item is offered at a Buy It Now price, where time is of the essence.
But when I put the shoe on the other foot, I would not want some blabbermouth to reveal a misspelled find, or a Pentax-brand find that was misfiled under "Other", that I had set my heart on. Buying low and selling high, as you plan to do, is a legitimate way to earn money; it gives a chance to those of us with less time on our hands who are willing to pay someone else to do the finding. I'll continue to alert the list to opportunities to buy hard-to-find lenses on specific web sites--I'm speaking of online retailers. But you've got me thinking that it might be better to alert the list that "I know where one is being sold for the equivalent of xxx dollars; write to me if interested?" I will respect your advice on this. Paul Franklin Stregevsky 13 Selby Court Poolesville, Maryland 20837-2410 [EMAIL PROTECTED] H (301) 349-5243 - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
