Canon LTM ever play russian roulette?

Canon M39 M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
I guess I acquired fifty percent of my stuf that way... Surely somebody is going to bid more than 10 Euros for that Konica S2? Naaahh... Anybody, more than 1 Euro for that C35? Nope... That Magnifax 6x9cm enlarger with color head is not going to go for 100 Euros! Ooops...

I love looking at who is bidding on items too. It has been funny to see so many familiar names from here bidding on all the Canon RF stuff. That Canon 50/1.5 lens from yesterday had at least 3 RFFers bidding on it. I felt bad this week because I saw in on my watch list that a hood I wanted was ending shortly. I threw in a bid without noticing who was the high bidder. I didn't win, but when I went back and looked I had bumped one of us. I wasn't that interested in this hood to have done that so I felt bad.
 
I bid US$51- for it last night, about 10 min's before the close, there was only one bid before me, and the seller has 100% feedback. I thought that someone for sure would outbid me, but there were no other bids.

Funny thing was, I was reading this thread when I made my bid :)
 
damn!
i get lucky sometimes but usually for the cheaper, lesser items.

of course i did use a 'buy it now' once for a $59 lens - i think maybe the 135...

ah hell, congrats!!

Heh. I do this too, but I have been lucky so far. When someone bids more than I am willing to pay for something I like, I inch his bid up as much as I dare so he ends up paying as much as possible.
 
geez ray.

i don't do it to get people to pay more. it's a silly game i play with myself.
usually the bid is up fast showing that the other guy has had a higher bid in already.
but yesterday i got caught cause he didn't have a bid as high as i thought he might.

never the less, the check is in the mail and i will soon have a 28/3.5 lens on the p.
