I'll probably take a lot of flack for writing this, but I think it's rude and pointless to spoil the BIN option, as someone quickly did. In my observation, the spoiler almost NEVER ends up winning.
In January a 600/5.6 on German EBay carried a $3000 BIN price; bidding ended at $1,575, the reserve unmet. The seller listed it again in February same terms. I forget the outcome. But $2,499 is quite a bit cheaper than $3,000 and quite possibly would have resulted in a BIN purchase by a serious shopper interested in striking a fair bargain. The spoiler is usually a cheapskate who hopes for a miracle. But as economist Paul Samuelson once wrote of the proposed Reaganomics, "It doesn't pay to believe in miracles before they've happened. It's hard enough believing in them once they've happened." http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1340012541 Paul Franklin Stregevsky - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
