I had sent this to the list yesterday and the replies generated were limited
to a discussion of B&H Photo's sales verification practices. Please accept
my apologies for the duplication, but I would like to offer this collection
to the group before seeking other avenues. Based on guidance from Tom
Scales about the value of the collection, I am willing to consider offers
below the requested US$1500 mentioned below, but still do not wish to break
up the set.

Subject: OM Equipment Looking for a Good Home
> Hello all.
>
> My recent trip to Singapore unfortunately convinced me that my days of
> manual focus are over. I spent a couple of long sweaty weekend afternoons
> in search of great subjects, but found myself frustrated by my less than
> perfect eyesight, requiring much more time to focus and compose than
> necessary. Despite my long relationship (almost 30 years) with the
Olympus
> OM system, I also found myself hankering for something a bit more up to
date
> geek-wise. I have settled on a new brand (and already plunked down the
cash
> at B&H Photo) and offer my OM equipment AS A COMPLETE SET ONLY for an
asking
> price of US$1500. By my reckoning, the replacement value of this
equipment
> is significantly higher. The price includes delivery by insured UPS
within
> the US only -- I will not sell this overseas. The inventory is below.
>
> All equipment comes with original instructions and/or data sheets (extra
> copy of OM-4T manual), but I didn't keep original boxes. I will also
throw
> in my miscellaneous OM sales brochures, a copy of a VisionAge from the
> 1980s, and other OM ephemera collected over the years -- including the
> famous Olympus Lens Handbook.
>
> Having never purchased used equipment, I'm not familiar with grading.
> However, every piece of equipment has been treated with respect, and is in
> my opinion excellent condition. The OM-4T body has a few minor areas of
> "brassing" especially near the strap eyelets and beneath the winding
lever.
> All lenses are clean and have had premium UV or skylight filters installed
> from time of purchase and are included in this sale. All lenses and
flashes
> also include original OM soft pouches. I am the one and only owner and
user
> of all of this equipment.
>
> Terms: payment in full via US Postal Money Order prior to shipping. I
will
> ship fully insured for $2000 via UPS ground to a street address in the
U.S.
> I've tested everything: everything works and works well. If you are
