Here's a CLASSIC example of what I'm talking about....
http://cgi.ca.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=488488602
First the guy says the OM-PC is "1,000 times better than an OM10"
because it has Program Mode and ESP. Okay, maybe he's
exaggerating a wee bit, but I'll give him that one.
Then, in the very *next* sentance he says that program mode is
*busted* so you can only use it in auto mode! Hmmm... that kinda
makes me think maybe it's NOT "1,000 times better" than an OM10!
Then, in the *next* sentance, he describes it as being "in excellent
condition!" Yeah, right!!!!
Be CAREFUL out there people! Some e-Bay sellers can talk out of
both sides of their mouth AND blow smoke out their... uhhh... ears all
at the same time!!!
Regards,
Chris
P.S. Let's have a contest.... the person who comes up with the
STOOPIDEST e-Bay auction description (Olympus items only!) gets a
free ride in Tom's 'vette! (Travel to/from Tom's place, accommodation,
taxes, gratuities, and everything-but-the-ride are extra... some
restrictions apply!) <G>

I'm *not* a Zuikoholic.... I'm a Zuikohobbiest!
