I like ebay. I like the fact that I can search past auctions to get a feel for the price range of what something will go for. I usually set my maximum bid at the lowest part of the range. Don't often win what I want right away, but eventually one falls into my lap at an attractive price. My Gralab 300 timer I bought used on Ebay for $26 instead of $100 new. After I already bought a Kindermann 1L tank "unused in box" for $15, I found another one on Ebay, along with three Kindermann 35mm reels and one 120. Total package price was $20. Picked up a Timbuk2 bag after John talked about how nice they were both as camera bags and as diaper bags. $22 used instead of $70 new. That said, I love that some people are willing to pay almost full retail for used items. I've unloaded more than one item for close to what I paid for it. :) Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
