Let me make a follow-up report on the eBay guy in Dallas who had only two
feedback points and was suddenly selling a tremendous lot of expensive gear
last week. Now, a week later, he has 15 positive feedbacks, one of which is
from me.
My auction ended just after midnight Tuesday, and a well-packaged, perfect,
LNIB 120mm f/5.6 Schneider APO Symmar, in an accurate-at-all-speeds* Copal 0
shutter, arrived right around noon Friday. My eBay good-luck run just keeps on
going. :-)
I'm especially pleased about taking a chance on this auction, since I paid $331
for this lens, while another, identical lens/shutter combination from a
safer-looking seller, a camera store with lots of feedback, went for $465 to a
less daring buyer two days later. And he didn't get a pretty, baby blue,
Scheider box with his!

*Yeah, I've got a shutter speed tester, as anybody who fools with old** camera
gear should.
**That includes most OMs, you know.
