I have a d16z6 that is laying in my garage that is a parts motor. well it would start but it has been laying there for years with no oil cap or exhaust mani, and a is matted to a DX tranny... long story is I could get $100 for it but i don't even feel like taking the time to answer billions of questions to get someone to take it off my hands for that price. I get paid $75/hr for way less work. I have even offered it for free if someone will just pick it up when I have free time, but it always turns out that my free time is worth more to me than bothering to hover over someone while they are rummaging around in my garage when it is convenient for them to show up.

good job getting the FD 1.4 for $30... for that price, if I shot FD, i would have taken the gamble and bought lens shipped and not wasted anytime thinking about it.
yeah I understand that situation sometimes, but I'm not an ass about it like this guy was. He could have simply stated in a few txt that he preferred local pickup and that he guarantees it is working. I would have drove up there that instant. he was an ass and I found a better deal anyway. I'm loving this 50mm f1.4 on my Gh1. It gives the hacked video a way more cinematic feel with the flares it produces when wide open.
