Well this is just silly.

Have a look.

And I can't even sell my Zone VI.

[David A. Goldfarb]

Good heavens.

[Colin Robertson]

Ahhh . . . front AND rear lens caps included. How could anyone resist?

[Dan Fromm]

So offer the Zone VI with a lens, preferably known to be good. Ready to shoot and all that.

Good luck, have fun,

Dan

I think eBay in general is getting crazy. People are bidding more on a some things than you can get them for new! Good for eBay, good for sellers. Oh well.

Barnum really knew his stuff.

Marko beat me to it.

Last week I noticed bids for sheet film which were higher than the everyday 'call up and order some' prices at photo retailers--and some of the film being bid-on may have been out-of-date! It wasn't exotic stuff--just the usual Kodak, Ilford etc.

I imagined two possibilities:

1. Some folks are very-poorly informed about the gear--perhaps thinking such stuff can ONLY be found on the bay--and so they go gung-ho for it, thinking 'get it or else'.

or

2. Some sellers (employing aliases or via cohorts) falsely bid and thus jack-up the prices in hopes of influencing price trends or to avoid selling their stuff for less than they desire.

I wish I had something to auction to take advantage of this trend.

eBayers are buying up new and demo models of the Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye for digital cameras for more than B&H sells the lens new.

Fun to watch bidding going up to and over $700 for a lens that sells for $599.

I'll take two. Do you do PayPal?
