Ya, but did you scroll down to the bottom where the seller posted something to the effect of "closing the auction early"? What's up with that? Also...though I shouldn't question someone new to eBay..one of those bidders had only purchased 2 items in the past.

I'm usually "suspicious" of someone "trying to inflate the price"...but, maybe that wasn't the case at all...

Sigman,

I don't believe the seller closed the auction early. They said in the auction that they were offering a "buy it now" feature. The seller added on to the auction that at the time they began the auction, they were unaware of the fact that the "buy it now" feature would disappear after a bid was placed... because what remained in the auction might cause some confusion about what happened to the "buy it now."

the buyer has won 3 auctions in the past that were Arc4+s. He or she must really like the light.

Well, I just learned that later Arc4+'s came in the metal presentation case. Darn it, mine did come in a zip lock! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif

$365 is a bit over the top though. I wonder how long these inflated prices will last?

I would like to pick up an ARC 4 but $365 is a bit much. Hopefully they will get reasonable eventually.

Isn't that worth an extra $200 or so....?

[/ QUOTE ]Im Sorry Klaus. I looked at the wrong bidders profile. I mistakenly looked at l2354earthlink's profile.

I haven't heard them mentioned lately....but I was one of the lucky original LS-3 owners. I sold it for $300 soon after buying (I think they were $160 or 200 new??). Anyhow, anybody seen one sell lately or venture a guess what they'd bring if one came up?
