Hi Bob,
As one EOS-user living in Sweden, I can say that these prices indeed sound
too good to be true. The price for a used EOS 3 from a private seller is
usually in the $700-800 range over here. Sometimes it is of course possible
to find a bargain from someone but I would be a bit cautious where the price
is so low.
Best regards
Jonas
