Any “Buy Now” offers? Traditional auction offers are so stupid, a fight of robots bidding several times in a row 🙂
I hate eBay “auctions” precisely because of the bot wars.
Sometimes I’ll drive up the bids just to give the bots some exercise. 😉
I find many people are outbidding themselves on Olympus market cause they bid so early in the game, thus ruining the potential deal for themselves and others.
Looks EU folks don’t know how to bid.
Because of the robots the easiest way to win a deal is to wait for the last minute and input most you are willing to pay. If you are lucky you win.
Bidding early just gives people time to think and outbid you.
That said I am sure Olympus is more than happy with this. I think they earn more selling this way than they do through their distribution channel. Or the company that manages tgis for them does.
What we need in EU are real promotions like the ones US has. I don’t ever see such promotions from any of the EU big online shops. If there are any like Adorama or BH
Yes. Prices on Olympus Market for refurbished stuff are often higher then new Olys in special price offers.
Who buys this stuff? If I buy a camera or lens, I want to know that it hasn’t been unboxed or used by anyone since it left the factory. The same goes for smartphones, TVs, computers, microwave ovens and other expensive devices.
Unless there’s a sigificant price difference. In this case there will be not.
Many the lenses are sold for a higher price at Olympus market than the real retailprice.
There are some 45 mm lenses there now:
Refurbished, Euro: 241 incl. shipping (not closed yet)
New, Retail, Euro: 248 incl shipping
I should not buy a refurbished lens for this price, then I pay 7 Euro more and get a brand new one.
