I don't bid because of the high reserves and the weird descriptions.
(Every 70s rangefinder is a Nikon "S-something copy".
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=478568698
for example.) I saw him try to sell a very rare variety once, not by
noting its rarity, but by claiming it was a copy of some Nikon rangefinder,
which it doesn't remotely resemble. That one didn't make reserve, but it didn't
reappear; so he must have haggled offline. He does have a lot of interesting
collectibles, even if he doesn't usually seem to know what they are.
