Interesting, Brian. He used similar language to describe the OM-2S I got
from him which arrived with a broken/bashed-in viewfinder. "Just making a
little room around the studio" is another phrase he uses over and over in
auction after auction. Why is he still bidding and buying so much on others'
auctions if he's looking to create "a little room around the studio"?
And his comment about the OM-2S with the broken mirror, which he states was
returned to him in a mangled box, is disputed (in e-mails to me) by the gal
who received it. I distinctly remember her stating that the box was in good,
undamaged condition, the camera was well packed in plastic "popcorn", as was
mine.
I suppose his story about the 200/4 COULD be true, as I'm sure there are
scammers on both sides of e-Bay transactions. But at this point, my pant
legs are rolled all the way up for this guy's stories.
I have no compunction about "talking behind his back" here. He shouldn't be
selling broken/damaged camera equipment as "Mint", "Exc", etc. I'm only
sorry I posted positive feedback for him before I noticed the viewfinder
problem on my OM-2S. So don't believe his high positive feedback profile,
either. The gal who got the broken mirror OM-2S is afraid to post ANY
feedback for fear of reprisal, damaging her e-Bay reputation. Right there
are TWO negatives that should show on his feedback history. Tom makes a 3rd,
Kelton, a 4th....
Again, BEWARE, PEOPLE!!!
