Mark,
Actually you can find some pretty decent deals
on photo.net too, if you don't already know about it.
Ebay has it's ups and downs. I've heard generally that
they don't do much other than suspend an Ebay user for
violating the rules. And, who hasn't seen used items
bid beyond the price of the item brand new? It's the
treasure hunt mentality that keeps some of us curious
enough to periodically return to see what we can find.
