I do that all the time mainly because of only 20 watchable limit by ebay. I disagree on the no-intention tho. The markers are usually low enough that i would be more than happy to buy things at that price :) It doesnt make sense for anyone to place a marker at a value they wouldnt want to pay in case they won it. So thats not really driving up the price. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
