…i didn’t find anything remotely interesting enough to incent me to buy. really. honestly. i gather that some of my friends are rather obsessive about buying other people’s stuff, and no doubt it fills a useful sales niche rather more effectively than old newspaper “classified ads” – and if you have some ideas of what you want i suppose the size of the set of products advertised is so large that you are likely to stumble across something… the thing that was nearest to catching my attention was a pentax 10mm XL eyepiece, at about 67 quid, which are of notoriously good quality and the guy selling seemed to have a clue – used the right words, etc – but i already have too many eyepieces. maybe i’m just, well, satisfied with what i’ve got. a disinclination towards instant gratification and a tendency to research purchases for months prior seems to make me proof against ebay. most odd.
