Steve, you are correct in everything that you said in your last reply to me. I stand corrected. But, it still doesn't change the fact that you made unprovoked personal insults towards me. I'm not getting over that, period.

Yes, these forums are a great source of information, and that is all I will use them for, as a lurker, from now on. I wish there was a way I could delete my membership, but since there is not, this is the last time I will login to respond to anything or anyone. Don't bother to reply, because all my notifications have been disabled and I will not be back to check this thread.

Again, for anyone who missed it the first time... Steve, you are absolutely correct in what you said in your last reply to me. I stand corrected.

THE END.

I have a different point of view, so suddenly I can't read and I'm "less intelligent" than everyone else here? Why are you getting personal? I didn't say anything rude to anyone in this thread. I just matter-of-factly restated my position.

This is the second time a white man has gotten nasty with me just because I stated my opinion! I was NEVER confrontational and I NEVER got rude or nasty with anyone. Sorry I didn't stay "in my place" and dared to talk back to a white man!

I'm out of here, you can have your precious forums all to yourself.

P.S. To anyone reading this after the fact, and don't understand why I wrote about "staying in my place", I used to have a pic of myself (I'm black) as my avatar. Mods or admins, please erase any and all traces of LadyRo from PentaxForums. Thank you.

Excellent points, guys. I think I'm just spoiled. I never have to take any of of the points you made into consideration when I buy something. Thanks for the perspective... $31 for a new adapter direct from Pentax doesn't seem expensive anymore, considering what people outside the USA have to pay.

I know there are products here that aren't available elsewhere, or cost much more elsewhere. I also know that it costs more to ship items overseas. However, the seller in question only has ONE used adapter to sell, and he's in Chicago. I don't think he's a bulk dealer, I think he just doesn't know how much the adapters really cost. I suspect that he bought his adapter off eBay from one of the Chinese vendors, out of Hong Kong, I've seen that sell them for something like $40. If that's the case, then I can see him thinking $30 is a reasonable asking price for a used adapter.

I originally used the phrase "the lower 48 states", but then got to wondering if that included the District of Columbia or not, because a lot of people still refer to it as a state when it isn't. Unfortunately for me, I was too lazy to make Google my friend, so I flipped a mental coin and went with "47 lower states plus DC". I should've picked tails. :lol:

Shhh...don't let my college and law school know I did that, because I really should know better. :o Let's just keep this little faux pas between you and me, okay? :p

Other countries, as well as US states and/or territories that are not a part of the lower 47 states and DC are not relevant to my post. My original post clearly shows that I was talking about sellers who are located on the US mainland.

My irritation doesn't rise to the level of being worked up. I guess I'm just kind of incredulous about people trying to do business without having a clue. Maybe I shouldn't be, though. Dumb people just make smart people like me look even smarter! :cool:

Why would someone on the US mainland go on eBay and try to sell genuine Pentax M42 to K mount adapters at the same retail price, and same shipping cost, that Pentax sells them for? Does this person not understand that in this situation the prudent choice would be to buy directly from Pentax? Obviously, not. :/

But, what makes it worse is that the adapter up for sale is USED! The seller is trying to sell a used adapter for the same price as a brand new, warrantied one, from Pentax. Then, they insult buyers further by giving them the option of making a Best Offer, including the option to send a note to the seller, but auto-declining the offers. I made two best offers, which I thought were fair offers given the adapter was used: $20 and $23, respectively. Both were automatically declined. That let me know that they had a certain price they were holding out for. My personal policy is that if I don't save more than $6, after shipping costs are added in, it's not a savings. Under $6 and I might as well pay full retail and get all the benefits that come with it.

Sorry for the rant, but it just irks me so much when sellers give a Best Offer option knowing they are intent on getting a certain price for their item. If you're not going to be reasonably flexible, it's just a waste of everyone's time. :(
