It's completely bonkers how buyers will find some silly feature that's on say one lens and missing on another so they start rumors that it must be magical and the one to go for i.e. Silvernosed (early models) Olympus lenses or that a lens was in production for a short period as stop-gap model such as the Pentax 'K' lenses.
This Silvernosed Oly 24mm link sold for TWICE the price of a non-silvernosed (probably better) model link
Flickr site about the differences link

Mark's method is probably the shady ebay sellers friend!
It saves them from having to put on "Shill Bids" and risk prosecution link All the driving up of prices by people "Nibbling" is done for the dodgy seller by someone putting a big bid on early in the auction link
Sorry Mark, but you could have probably saved 20-33% by sniping You can find sniping sites that only charge about 13p if you win nothing if you lose.... Quids in!...

Crikey Mark!..... a Scotsman who likes to throw money away!
You need to get into sniping Fast! How do you think all the
dealers who resell stuff pick it up cheap?..... certainly not your
way
The good thing about a snipe is you can still cancel it a few minutes
before the auction... Autobid your stuck!

Buyer had only 1 for feedback. If you look at the automatic bids
he put on quite a few one after the other, probably someone had
already left on a large bid, which does tend to push the price up
I assume this lens is not longer available at £270

Miele are very good. I've had one for 4 years now, no problems and very quiet. I had a Bosch for 10 months prior to that and scrapped it because it was at 12deg C on max. Comet said that as long as the fridge was colder than the kitchen it was working Wrote to Bosch with a 5 day log taken at 30min intervals and never got a reply. It was also noisy I think it had an electric drill inside
