I spoke to Paul today and told him I informed the list about his decision.
Apparently selling OM equipment was suppose to be a retirement hobby for
him. He's now selling to 40 countries and decided he was at a point where
he had to expand, or quit. He decided to scale way back so he could get
back to taking pictures again! After all, what good is all that great
camera equipment if you've no time to use it!!?? He indicated he will still
be on eBay now and then and was going to continue with Vivitar and Varta
batteries, and perhaps some other equipment he can get. He wishes everyone
well!
