You may be right. There would have to be two of them to create that high
of a price.
Incidently,
The bidder you spoke of in the last 30 days has bought 2 40/2's, a 135/3.5,
and a Winder 2, etc.. He currently has high bids on 3 OM1's, a 100/2, and
a 16/3.5 (at $840.00!). Many of the items he bought were new in the box,
so he is obviously a collector or dealer making long term investments. I'd
be surprised if he is buying MIB stuff to use (although I've seen it before)
The current high bidder has a definite EBay addiction. He's bought or is
high bidder on 59 items in the last 30 days, including a 1993 VW
Cabriolet. He also seems to like MIB items, and bought a 200/5 several
weeks ago. The box/case must be to match the lens and make it "MIB" as
well <ha,ha>. If I'm right, it wouldn't be the first time a buyer has put
together items and represented them as new.

Kind of hard to be so sure about that. The next highest bidder had to have his
bid at just under the current $80.99. And that particular guy (second highest
bidder) seems to be throwing a lot of money at OM gear on eBay just now.
