Here's another one:

Since the time this thread started Cameta has sold probably half a dozen
of these E1 2-lens kits. Just as soon as one sells, they relist the
same exact thing -- even on New Years Day. What a business!!
I live on Long Island and can tell you that the store itself is nothing
compared to their eBay business. They claim to offer the "best prices
on used gear", but I can tell you through experience that whatever you
bring in "isn't worth much anymore."
