Dawid, an infamous vendor on a well-known auction site is listing the
following items. As is well-known to many of us, the "new in box" goods are
most likely used, but in very good condition indeed, with the box. I would
guess that these prices are 50% above a realistic market price (i.e. willing
buyer/willing seller).
35-70/3.6 - USD399 "new in box"
35-70/3.6 - USD199 not "new"
35/2.8 Shift - USD599 not "new"
18/3.5 - USD1299 not "new"
180/2.8 - USD599 not "new"
135/2.8 - USD199 not "new" NB not the f/3.5
200/4 - USD149 not "new" NB not the f/5
I would have no interest in buying genuinely new (or fake new, for that
matter), when there is reasonable readily available used equipment.

Subject: [OM] Discovered treasure trove of NIB Olympus items...
...at a local shop which is utterly reluctant to sell them, says they want
to "export it". Granted, the market in South Africa for OM gear is not that
much (I must be about 50% of the market :-) but I was wondering, what would
the list members be prepared to pay for the following items (new in box).
