Highway Robbery
Someone just committed highway robbery on eBay, and I missed by an Euro
(about $1.20) In my effort to move into LF and the search for a 4X5 enlarger, I spotted a Durst Pictochrom Elite Plus (that's a fully automated version of the L1200 with integrated closed loop dichroic color head). It just sold for - 451 Euros (about 562 dollars). The saddest part is, the winner has zero feedback, and joined eBay the day the enlarger was listed... I may still get lucky... For now, I'll continue to look and hope the winning bidder was the seller himself and will contact me for the sale... Jim |

Fortune favors the brave. Next time, bid a fair price. Good luck, Dan |

I was willing to go to 800, but the auction smelled fishy. Looked like the seller was trying to drive the price up, and I wasn't going to play that game. In my E-Mail this morning there was a message from the seller. Hmmm.... |

It's called shill bidding, and it's against ebay's acceptable-use policy, not to mention a totally dishonest method of doing business. Regardless of whether you end up buying the item or not, TURN HIM IN and get his account suspended or terminated. There's no reason that anybody should have to put up with those tactics, which is why ebay made a rule about it.

Jim,
I have a Pictochrome Plus Elite enlarger (XDUR413000), Optoscan film scanner (XDUR414050), Labom Table (XDUR413037), Picto Table Mount (XDUR413027), Pictochrome Probe (XDUR413022), Pictobox Shutter (XDUR413026), and a Pictobox (XDUR413010). I have the manual for the Pictochrom Plus Elite, Optoscan, and Drop table. I reallize it is a lot of equipment, but believe it is best to sell it together. It's origional cost was over $40,000.00 I live in southwest Virginia and due to the value of the equipment, believe it best if someone is really interested they should come get it. I do not have the original shipping crates. Are you interested in making an offer? Hal Brainerd |
