The "hard work" is not inputting search terms, rather it's the amount of time - sometimes months - spent searching for a particular piece of hard-to-find gear, which, more often than not, is a lens. FWIW, I've spent as much as five and six months looking for a good example of certain lenses.
Sometimes on eBay a lens is improperly described, or for some reason doesn't garner the attention of too many bidders, and few list members, if any, have noticed the error. It is very frustrating, to say the least, do find that, after six months of serious looking, the map to the hidden treasure made a public document. However, I recognize that that's sometimes what happens when plays the eBay game. Cotty wrote: > As with most issues discussed here, I have learned some things, not all > of which I like.
