The guy said a user body. Both those bodies are below toms range, plus I don't
know their condition. Were they users? Ex+ ?? Ex?? Ex++++  Mint??  Crappy?
Crappy++?? The others include lenses. There were two OM-3's (not Ti) in two
separate, not on the internet shops near me, that were for sale priced at $275,
and $190(!!) respectively. I don't need or want one, so I didn't buy one. Its
just my personal experience that those hawking prices on this list are usually
hawking higher prices than I see. Its also usually those who buy low, then sell
smack up to the "going" rate.
