sadly no, just avarage cheating by seller.. winner bidder has 20% activity of this seller.
Gebotsaktivität (%) bei diesem Verkäufer: 20%

Interesting.

Interesting. Does it makes sense despite the fees?

I think you may be misinterpreting this figure; for example, I am currently the high bidder on a lens and I have “16% activity with this seller” and it's the only bid ever that I've made on any item by that seller. It's just that I haven't bid on much else recently, and this value only applies to last 30 days… So if someone buys only one lens per month and doesn't bid on anything else, they would have 100% activity with that seller without any fraud.

Of course some people will constantly bid on many items and will have low-% there, but others—such as myself—only bid when they are the first bidder or at the last second; and often the price will have gone up before that last second so there will be no bid. Hence high activity-%.

(Edit: In this particular case the buyer has only 10 bids in the last 30 days so 20% activity with this seller means two bids on this seller's items.)

3X: 70 euros for 3 Helioses is not far from usual prices.

M42 Helios 44 is not longer a secret tip anymore.

I sold a Helios 44 M7 with slightly stiff focus some months ago for 47€ alone on Ebay!

Helios 44 M7 is said to be sharper than all other Helios lenses, but in fact when I tried it against my Helios 44-2 the Helios 44-2 was a little sharper in center and softer in the edges. So I would say its only better in overall sharpness.

Thank you for explanation I need to re-think about it.

You have much more good deal there, so never mind poor Helios lenses.
