Since you have repeated this, I was wondering if you have bought or sold
on eBay, given that you have no posted Feedbacks? Is this statement
based on experience or opinion?

Lowest Dealer Price on the was $129.55 back in 1987, so you did well,
indeed. There was an $87 on eBay before you were a registered user. On
the other hand, a former OM List subscriber tied the all-time record
sale of $255 - and the buyer was as delighted as you are.
<< Mine had a no risk 10 day full return privilege. Can't beat that. >>
Sure you can. Any eBay Power Seller is obligated to offer a 30 day
money back guarantee. Any eBay auction item up to $200 is covered by
Lloyd's insurance (subject to a $25 deductable).
