I gawk at E*ay all the time to oogle over things I don't need and at times to try to find something that I do need. It's addictive. It's like watching Antiques Roadshow in realtime, 24x7.
Having just purchased my 11x14 camera, I'm spending a fair amount of time looking for accessories for it. And of course, filmholders are a top priority. Lo and behold, I've seen three go by on Ebay. The first two went by before I purchased the camera. One went for something like $305 and the other for a little bit more. They were the Fidelity sort and in good condition.
Then came this beast: another 11x14 Fidelity holder in somewhat sadder condition, in need of some repair. And some poor soul paid $330!! for this thing! For another $30, he could have purchased a beautiful wooden one that was NEW!
I have a feeling the buyer, "snypurr", made one snipe too many in this last purchase....
Sorry, I'll try to keep these types of posts down to a minimum. I'm excited to see what the 11x14 Deardorf goes for; it's already got me feeling fuzzy over my Wisner purchase...
