Don't miss out:

The bidding is currently at US $893,575.00 with only two days, 12 hours left on the auction.

No connection with the seller. Hate to see his/her credit card statement after the eBay fees.

I would have assumed that someone accidently bid the wrong amount, but a second someone went and outbid the first nutcase (hope I'm not offending any RFF members).

No offense here. Any fool who would pay that for a $4000 lens should be taken out and shot in the interests of furthering the evolution of the human race.

Wow, seems like a good deal...

I'm guessing there was a hiccup, or they got anxious and hit two extra numbers.

Going on a million bucks? You´ve got to be kidding?

And if you're lucky, you might qualify for free shipping!

I like to wait and bid at the last minute.

 

[coelacanth]

Will anyone insure the shipment for the full amount? Lol.

Items removed.

On another note, anyone got an idea on a price for a noctilux that have a stuck focus and a fungus inside? Just curious..

Its a bargain alright. You may have not notices but it is a VERY rare example. It is serial number 2398732 of which there is only ONE in existence. Its therefore extremely collectible and I have a feeling that Photo Arsenal will snap it up and sell it for even more. Get it while you can!

My guess is that the seller and bidders are one and the same (physically speaking). A case of multiple personality disorder, one wants to sell, a second wants to wreak havoc, the third wants to keep. The second personality is the only one aware of the other two.

Some guys, when they see an obvious scam on ebay, apart from reporting, they put an obviously nonsense bid just to block it.

Maybe it was just that.

and the winner is...
