I'll probably take a lot of flack for writing this, but I think it's rude and pointless to spoil the BIN option, as someone quickly did. In my observation, the spoiler almost NEVER ends up winning. In January a 600/5.6 on German EBay carried a $3000 BIN price; bidding ended at $1,575, the

Paul, I don't agree with you, but in any case this BIN option is still active. The seller did it right. He/she used a reserve price. The BIN option is active until the reserve is hit. If you are serious about having a BIN, you should use a reserve. I don't think most of the

Are you saying this is a reasonable price? If so I disagree. No, Brendan, I think it's already too high (at $800 the last time I checked). It does look like it's in pretty good shape for a 1980 LX, but the seller is selling it as is (if I read his somewhat low-key mention of that correctly).
