This sort of thing is a source of irritation for me. I see it quite a lot. It is a clear indication that the seller is not the original owner (i.e. has never used the lens) and is just trying to flip it for some easy money.

Since he's in the UK, I am not quite sure why his listings are in German. Anyway, I've made him an offer of £5.50

Drat ! Knew there was something.

At the present time, has anyone realised what a useful social function these auction sites provide ? Where else could one find a never-ending stream of people to whom one can feel justly superior ?
