Right-O. And also 1) OM-4T Champagne vs. OM-4T Black vs. OM-4Ti and 2)
the type of seller: a dealer with a guarantee vs. an opportunistic
wholesaler, often with an "as-is" sale and/or an underrepresentation of
condition. Seller differentiation has emerged as an important factor is
perceived market value on eBay. Stated another way, market value is
inversely related to the degree of risk assumed by the buyer.
Marketing 201 perhaps, but it suprisingly has taken eBay a few years to
evolve to this pattern.
