Now Shel, I've got one of those "marker" bids on the A100/2.8 Macro that just appeared here as 'an interesting item on eBay'. I was the 3rd bidder. It opened at $91 and I bid $92 or $93. I don't think I've driven the price up on this item at all. I expect it will ultimately sell for over $500. If it comes in at much less than that, I'll be back in bidding again. This is a good way for me to track that. Regards, Bob S. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
