I think the most expensive item I ever bought on eBay was a lens for which I paid around $70US - more than I usually spend on eBay, but it was such a good price, I took a chance. Luckily I didn't get burned. I can't believe it when I hear of those who spend thousands for a camera or whatever. All the assurances in the world (positive feedback or whatever) won't ~guarantee~ a successful transaction. At least at a store, I can hold the camera, lens, or whatever, and I walk out of the place with the thing in hand. I find that comforting... cheers, frank "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
