This DA 18-55 for a mere €1000 - only 30 left

Or perhaps an FAJ 18-35 for only €1200 - again only 30 left at this bargain price.

No connection with the seller

It's not the first time this silly seller has made the mistake.

You can always tell it's him because he puts an "X" in the title instead of a dash, as in "18 X 55mm". He never mentions the postage charge in the listings either.

If anyone wants one of these, I've got one they can have at half this price!

P.S. Free postage too.
K-3, a macro lens and a DA*300mm...

Where did you see it for that price Golf? Once I'm done painting my son's new house I am going to get one. He moves on Saturday so wants it done by then
I'll deserve a K20D after all the work I'll have put in on his house. My reward to me.

I contacted the seller and the price is for all 30 pieces... He is willing so sell a single lens for 45 Euro's.

"The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing".

I should say so.

He received some advice. Look forward to a different system for describing zooms.

I thought the main error was that he'd listed 30 lenses at £800 each, rather than 30 lenses for £800. But getting the zoom description right should help him too.

The advice encompassed several issues. Mind you, horses and water, etc.

That almost sounds like you've offered advice in the past and it's been ignored... Can't think of any examples off the top of my head at the moment though...

Nor can I, he says, innocently.

Incidentally, the seller in question seems to be quite a nice bloke.
