    This seller has quite an imagination:




    "Vintage Large Format Bellows Portrait Camera W/ Wollensak Velostigmat Lens"

    Only $100? A bargain at twice the price!

    Item number 120958339317

    Anyone can appreciate a fine print. But it takes a real photographer to appreciate a fine negative.

    Yea Will, but at least the seller did not start the auction at $10.000.

    Something like this. Simply CRAZY.

    Here it is . To add insult to injury it doesn't have a flange. Shipping is equally silly high seeing how I live one state away at $36.95

    For 'poor' they mean 'ignorant'.

    FINE ARTS / PROCESS LENS
    42" F14 APOCHROMAT RED DOT ARTAR by C.P. GOERZ #780221
    I BELIEVE LENS IS CONFIGURED FOR SHORT DISTANCE - GRAPHIC ARTS
    & I DON'T THINK IT FOCUSES @ INFINITY
    I THINK THE FOCUS CAN BE CONFIGURED BECAUSE LENS DOES COVER 20X24

    Its August. The silly season is upon us.

    Re: Post your wacky lens ads, auctions, sales!

    Here's one that I'm sure everyone knows. Talk about keyword spamming, this seller usually has numerous "auctions" that aren't auctions at all. He's using Ebay for advertising and driving sales to his other stuff. And to get novice sellers to call him so he can get new inventory. They're farce auctions, but he'll used every big name in the books. I'm not sure if it's even allowd, but of course, Ebay does nothing because he's a big seller. I wonder if auto dealerships do this on Ebay too?
