I agree with you Buddy.  However, in defense of Paul let me say this.  I've
lined Paul's pockets on several occasions with major purchases. I've had
nothing but honest and fair service from him.  In my conversations with Paul
he intimated there was a falling out with the list; he never explained the
reason nor did I inquire.  Having not been a list member when Paul was a
participant, Buddy now reveals to me the reason for Paul's comment.

I'm sure Buddy, you mean nothing personal towards Paul's character, just the
manner and intent of selling on the list.  And I agree that there should be
a group policy expressed to list members, new and old (with the exception of
Barry who must NOT be OLD <g>, pardon me "older", regarding the manner in
which items will be offered for sale on the list.

<Hi All,
I must agree with George and some others on this issue.
If a list member wants to sell something to this list then they should:
A) List the items.
B) Give a description of the condition.
C) LIST A SALES PRICE!!!!

This B.S. of "Make me an offer", "How much will you pay" or "email me and if
you are a list member I'll cut you a sweetheart deal", is nothing more than
an informal Auction.
The seller is trying to work the price up by using the list members as the
audience.

If you want to sell to this list, fine.  But, state your price!

I am sure many on this list will remember the "WARS" Lee Hawkins had with
"olympus guy - paul" when paul was trying to use this forum as a marketing
arm for his personal gain.
If Lee were still on the list, I have a pretty good guess what he would have
to say.
'This List is for the education of Olympus products and Photography.  NOT
for making Money!'
