I dunno, but the seller is located in Vancouver, BC.  Up here in the 
Canadian Hinterland, mercury batteries *aren't* illegal (yet!).  So, maybe 
e-Bay goes by what's legal in the seller's country???  Just a guess on 
my part.

Quick side comment...  I found it cute that the camera was describes 
as, "excellent condition, no dent, one ding on the edge of the 
baseplate."  Someone wanna explain to me the difference 'tween a 
"dent" and a "ding" please???  Oh, I know!  A "ding" is okay damage 
and a "dent" is not-okay damage...  right???  <G>

Gotta remember that one for *my* e-Bay ads!  <G>

Regards,

Chris
