I have been on ebay since 1998 but I no longer use it for anything beyond buying cheap lens caps and such from ?buy it now? listings. No high value items, neither buying nor selling. Out of curiosity, I looked at some Hassy prices in real stores, and they bore no resemblance to what you state below. In any event, I want a Rollei.
