>Item #1: Genuine Olympus leatherette case designed for an OM-series camera,
with a "standard" lens and a Winder 1/Winder 2 mounted. This is the
infamous item which a Paris, France gentleman sold on eBay within the last
year or so for around $200.00 U.S. No, you couldn't get that much for it,
and no, it's really not worth that much. Probably more like $35.00 - $45.00
U.S. or thereabouts, even considering that it might be relatively rare. The
winning bidder on that particular auction was, IMNSHO, certifiably insane,
and deserved to be beaten to death for stupidity with a non-functioning
Bounce Grip 2. By the way, if I'm insulting an active member of the List
who just happened to be the purchaser, send your rants/flames/hate mail/etc.
to "/dev/null/." You Were Off Your Rocker.

>Item #2: Genuine Olympus "ever-ready" case (the kind made out of really,
really, REALLY dark brown leatherette -- looks black under most lighting, to
me at least).
>
>Both these items are in good-to-excellent condition, although since first
responders are getting 'em for free, that's not really all that important,
is it? ;-)
>
>First come, first served. All others will be contacted with a standardized
"Sorry, pal" type of boilerplate message.
>
>Ciao, folks.
