If you're feeling experimental, you can probably pick it up cheap. Be
prepared for either surprise or disappointment.

If you're planning to use it with an OM-4* (maybe 3*) you'll need to find
out about rogue screwholes that will decapitate your plastic lens-sensor
button. As a minimum, ask about the number of screws in the back (4 holes
bad, 3 holes good, both *probably*).

Given that he's makes a deal about the automatic diaphragm, he's either
 - bullshitting
 - not very knowledgeable
 - Rip Van Winkel
If it's Rip, check his other auctions for LNIB Deardorffs.
