Hi Shawn:
> Is this lens really worth $350 (starting bid), or is this guy dreaming?
Looks like I wrote him privately just a bit too late to stop his mistake on
eBay. Here is what he had posted elsewhere, but apparently got too impatient
to wait on a response:
<< Excellent condition with tripod ring. Must sell. Please email direct. Paul
Farrar's Unofficial Olympus OM Zuiko Lens Page says they go
for between $310 and $475 on the used market. Best offer. >>
The prices posted are approximate DEALER ASKING PRICES, which aren't the same
as PRIVATE BUYING PRICE, as per the footnote on Farrar's List:
<< If you're a seller, don't expect to get anywhere near these amounts as an
offer from a dealer. (50-60%, maybe) >>
Way too many owners get stuck on the idea they can sell at Shutterbug prices.
I guess they just have to go through the school of hard knocks!
