[Leica] Delta International

["Tom Schofield" <tdschofield@email.msn.com>]

I once bid on a Delta International item, and found that they they have
reserve prices set that are much higher than their initial bid price
implies.  Does the 90mm APO have an intital bid price of $1348, or is that
their reserve price?
