 A few days ago, a late DS M3
looked like it would be selling for around $520, apparently undented and
in working order. I was tempted!


FYI, the offeror was bidding up the price artificially.... for a camera that
was maybe a bit rare, it might have been a buy.....regardless of repairs
needed.... The auction was shut down by Ebay, due to complaints about this
seller...

Which brings up the point that a lot of these auctions are artificially bid
on by the seller.... with all the free email addresses you can get, it is
quite easy to do this..... and not get caught... this guy was an i#$%@, and
got caught because he was greedy.

caveat emptor.... let the sucker beware!
