    Ebay is horrible....

    Because I buy too much stuff. I just purchased a yashica electro 35 GSN (What a mouthful) and some other accessories for $20 bucks. My collection is slooooooooooooooooowly growing

    Anyone with sample pics, by all means feel free to post or link me!

    Maybe this should be your new title:

    yeh... ebay really is terrible on my wallet. Ever since consumers have been moving to digital, there's been a lot of unloading of great oldish equipment. So much.. so little $$$

    People are fickle. I believe the pendulum will eventually swing the other way, and what you're picking up now for pennies will someday be very valuable.

    (stands) I haven't bought any photographic equipment on Ebay in 14 days... the second day was the worst; by lunchtime I was sitting in the corner rocking back and forth and muttering "Place bid... place bid..." but I'm slowly beating the addiction; now I can sit actually at the PC and check my emails without simultaneously doubleclicking the shortcut to the Ebay 35mm SLR page. (sits back down, trying to hold back the tears, and waiting for sympathetic nods and pats on the back).

    eBay is a tool of the Devil!! I always get into trouble going there. I hate that you can type in what ever you may even think about wanting and, POOF!! there it is...and for cheap! I bought the daylab my last visit there.

    I am SO smitten . My yashica just arrived, it looks BRAND NEW! I really dont think anyones actually used it. Therees some minor wear on the leather case, but you take the whole thing out of the case and its just beautiful - ok really showing my fondness for other peoples junk now. The yashinon 45mm 1.7 is in pristine condition.

    Man I love new toys!
