For a hoot, I reported the actual battery drain for an OM-4 that I once
sold.  It was middle of the road drain, but I got a high price - which
was a good thing since it was on commission for a very elderly, fixed
income gentleman. Many others OM-4 's have sold higher (for the same
condition) and the seller said nothing on battery drain, Conversely, too
many who have described theirs as having 4Ti circuitry or CLA'ed have
not sold as well as they should have.  Bottom line: unless the auction
has a reserve price which forces the sale higher AND there are
competitive buyers who care about this esoteric issue, it won't make any
difference if the facts are supplied or not.
