> Ebay is not the place to look for extreme bargains.

Blanket statements like this are just plain wrong.  It depends on what you 
are looking for, and how many other people are interested in it.  In the 
Leica world, you may be right, but in the Hasselblad and Rollei and Fuji 
and other camera worlds, you are dead wrong.  I have found many extreme 
bargains on eBay.

You are right that it does depend on what you consider an extreme 
bargain...and I believe that varies with the type of item...if you can get 
a new Leica lense for %25 off that may be an extreme deal....for that 
particular Leica item...
