It's very unlikely that there will ever be any desirable Pentax gear on eBay that quite a lot of people here aren't watching.

It's a big ol' place, the internet

These helpful notifications are a bit of a mixed blessing really, but in any event we can't expect to keep an eBay auction secret.

What's the consensus - is it a good idea for people to point out eBay bargains (and thus potentially destroy the bargain) or doesn't it matter because it's there for all to see anyway?
OK - I can see this from different perspectives.

A member may be bidding but keeping quiet and a post will spark additional interest and possible cost him more as either other member will bid or someone lurking from outside may see it and take advantage.

A member may find an interesting lens but by not posting it could end up with a non-member.

So, John, how about asking for a "closed forum" which can only be accessed by "long term" members (say 50 posts or more) where items such as this could be listed. At least then, WE, will benefit and outsiders will not be tipped off. It could, but members would never even contemplate it, be used to agree that only one should bid!
I personally believe that members should refrain from posting these type of links.
Yes I agree that members, who do their home work will often find themselves bidding against each other. I have no problem with that.

What I do find frustrating, is that this type of post tips of the less diligent to a potential bargain, which often results in frenzied activity and an inflated selling price.

I wish I knew who Bidder 5 is

I just hope this lens ends up with someone who is actually going to use it, rather than try and make a quick buck on it

Wonder what will happen when all the automatic bids come in on the last second, seems to have generated a great deal of interest this item. Unfortunately I will be out when the auction ends. Still hoping my auto bid might come trumps though.
