My stats say (ave=average std=standard derivation)
item                      ave     std   sales
OM1 (non MD) chrom body  94 EUR  37 EUR  124*
OM1 (non MD) black body  89 EUR  24 EUR   28
OM1 (  MD  ) chrom body  77 EUR  24 EUR   21
OM1 (  MD  ) black body 101 EUR  29 EUR    9
OM1n         chrom body 103 EUR  37 EUR   61
OM1n         black body 105 EUR  51 EUR    8

*Chrome bodies, where the picture does not 
reveal the MD sign at the left front, are 
sorted as "non MD". I am certain that there 
are dozens of MDs among those non-MDs.

Comments: Since black bodies "suffer" more 
from brassing, the black body prices are not 
that much higher, and the std is higher due 
to more snick-pickery buyers.

I only list bodies that are described as fully 
working, no dents or massive scars. Brassing 
allowed, aged seals allowed. I split sales of 
bodies and lenses and accessories according to 
their relative values.

As always at eBay: Buying a set often delivers 
cheaper parts. Reselling excess item may fully 
refinance the wanted item. Especially if one 
extra item is described as defective, or "bad" 
in any sense, that often pulls down the price 
of the whole set. I once bought a black OM1n 
with a non-working 1.4/50 at 50 EUR ... even 
discarding the defective lens fully left me with 
that fully intact body.
