    Wow that was close! Would that have been part of your 70-200/2.8 IS money? Also, just wondering, why is the Olympus Pen F kit worth so much?

    Yeah - This was close. Too close.


    And yeah - The 70-200 2.8 IS is funded by these sort of things. We recently sold a Leica M2 kit for the "L Fund".


    As for the value, that's a question I'm yet to answer. I currently have the posting set to "Best Offer", but an accurate price point would be useful.


    Do you have any idea of its value, ShutterbugJohan?


    Are you interested[]?

    No, I don't know what it's worth, and I'm afraid that I am not interested. Thanks!

    I also received a fraudulent paypal email after selling (or so I thought) and item on Ebay.Nigeria was definitely a red flag, but then again so was the poor grammar. I guess I'm just naturally cautious cause I caught it right away and called paypal to confirm my suspicions. Just be aware that paypal never asks for tracking number before approving funds. I hope it helps and good luck!

    I worked with a lady that was foolish enough to buy a dog from someone in "Nigeria". She went to the airport to pick it up and it was DOA.


    Sad but we laughed our butts off for weeks about how dumb she was and the thought of her opening the kennel thing and the dog being expired. We were quite certain the dog was never actually alive for any part of the trip. We were surprised there was a dog at all.

    As I was reading it, my first thought was the grammar is a dead giveaway.
