Yes, the downside is that other bidders may get key information that only you had in the past. BUT, there is also a great upside to this. If the seller gives you false answers, they are "in" the listing and gives you much better grounds to get a refund if you end up getting something less than what you bid on due to his false claims! The seller certainly cant deny he made them when they are right there in the listing and unalterable...

So, a guy has a "Takumar" lens for sale on eekBay. I ask him whether it's Auto, Super or SMC. He responds SMC, great. But now ALL the buyers can see this on the auction page. The price'll go way up. Don doesn't get his super, devious, informed, clever, good deal. Poor, poor me. :-( Has anyone discovered a "super, devious, informed, clever" way around this? I'm not sure I like the idea of an informed person raising the price for sellers just by asking the right questions. Perhaps instead, I should have asked for a better pic of the front of the lens? (Doh!) Don (Sulking now, not nearly as clever as I thought.)
