Ha - I agree 100% with the listing error: case in point.. (67 owners will HATE me):
Title: "Pentax 67ii prisem" about 5 months ago... Was a brand new (no dust, no use) which had been 'dropped' and 'lens mount was bent so lenses do not come off easily', and the prism was 'off' and 'won't meter properly'. I walked away with a Brand new (and, btw, flawless) 67II body and AE Prism II. Not a SINGLE thing wrong with them. The prism was, of course set to EV+2 when it arrived! ... $700 + shipping! >From: Shel Belinkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: eBay ethics and the PDML >Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 06:56:10 -0800 > >The "hard work" is not inputting search terms, rather it's the amount of >time - sometimes months - spent searching for a particular piece of >hard-to-find gear, which, more often than not, is a lens.
