You haven't missed out on anything. The seller wants traffic, which will
drive up the price. I suggest that if you do decide to bid, get in writing
(E-mail) exactly what you are going to receive (i.e. serial #, exact
condition of lens, lens caps, etc.), if not explicitly stated in the eBay
advertisement.

Subject: [OM] question re ebay
Hi all, I've subscribed again after being away for a month or so.
(sometimes my love/hate relationship with my computer tells me to get on
my
bike more than.......)
I have this weird ebay thing going on and wonder what you think. Bear in
mind I have very little ebay experience.
I see a lens I want, the seller says he won't accept bids unless the
bidder
has more than 10 feedbacks. As I only have 5 feedbacks I asked him how I
prove to him I am a good boy. He replied that my asking was a good sign,
that some idiot was trying to sabotage him, that I could bid.
I didn't bid, didn't really feel like it, or perhaps I just wanted to wait
until the end. No one else is bidding on his lens. After some days I get
an email saying: "You don't bid, why not. Are you the asshole who is
bugging me?"
I've told him it's none of his business whether I bid or not and that I am
not the asshole who is bugging him.
So, have I missed out on something? Or is he what he thinks I am? Machiel
