Garth, I keep very little NEW OLY in stock. I specialize in the best used
equipment. Unfortunately for me I will be paying higher prices for most
everything as a result.
I do have a bunch of new and OLY promotional pieces of equipment that I am
going to offer at reduced prices to reduce some of the inventory I have on
hand. I'm running out of storage space! Plus, I am going on a buying trip next
Thursday wich will add to the problem! Then why buy? Well, you guys keep
asking for exotic stuff, that's why! I gotta go search for this stuff! No,
pawn shops do not have 50-250mm ZUIKO lenses!
To get my inventory, I prey on the infirm, the senile, and those who think the
OLY equipment is going out of style! Paul.
