OK, the auction closed! What was the final price?

 

[mrb]

Us$3,827.77

Nice price! I hope that the seller realizes that the IRS considers the capital gain as taxable income...LOL

 

[CameraQuest]

Us$3,827.77

and that is quite a bargain.

presuming the glass is clean, even without a finder and shade, retail is about $6,000.

Badly titled auctions can make Ebay a treasure hunt.

I always do a search for "nippon kogaku" in the title and within the listing. I think any serious eBay searcher would do the same.

Probably every Nikon collector saw it.

I like the surprise of a thread about auctions without the word 'auction' in the title.

Life is like a box of chocolates, as Forrest Gump would say!

I posted a link in NHS forum when the auction was active, The seller was selling a 2.5cm f4 and 8.5cm f1.5 as well.
Just about every collector did know!
I guess the tough economic times make a little bit of difference.
