I am a bit puzzled by the first (70-200)
In the description it lists the price as USD44.95 reduced from USD49.95, but the bidding price is USD65 :!: :!: :?:

Didn't really read it so completely missed that one! At first I thought maybe they'd cut and pasted the other description, but it's not in that one. Very odd.

It also says at the bottom:
** THIS IS PRE ORDER - WILL BE SHIPPED MIDDLE OF JULY **


How can you drop the price of something that is on pre-order?

I bet someone thinks they are bidding on a real lens. :lol:
