Ok, thanks all for the reply!
To give you more an idea of what I'm talking about. I just found this on
german bay
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1359060406
1 EUR approx. 1 $US (ok a little less than a 1$).
Description says visual mint condition and 'no technical problems'.
In the answer to my mail the guy told me he's selling a 'fully functional
camera' and will send it insured.
He did not mention the return privilege I asked for.
ships with:
Olympus 1,8/50mm w/ lens hood
Soligor Zoom + Makro 28-80 mm ; 1:3,8-4,8
Tokina 70-210mm; 1:4-5,6;
(sky light filters on all lenses)
I'll sell the Tokina anyway since I have the 80-200 f2.8, the Soligor I
don't know.
The 'Buy it Now' price seems a little high for me but if bids stay low...
Unfortunately no OM-2s on german bay, this babe seems truly rare in germany.

Betreff: Re: [OM] Price for black OM-1n?
Not particularly rare on US *Bay. Last year I bought 2 black OM-1ns. I
got one for $100 that looks pretty good and with everything working
except the 2 slowest speeds are obviously too slow. The other is
virtually unmarked except for a few subtle marks in, but not through,
the paint on the bottom. It is fully functional and cost me $200. It
does take some care and patience to get a good price on a good camera.
An apparently mint one was bid up to over $700 a few days ago and didn't
meet the reserve, but that's collector craziness.
Another thing to try if you have time and patience is to buy one that
has recently had a CLA. The auction prices for these never seem to
reflect all of the cost of a CLA in addition to the basic condition of
the camera. That could take a while, I've picked up OM-1s that way, but
not an OM-1n.
