Paul, You are indeed fortunate. I have gotten cameras with broken mirrors, lenses that wouldn't focus (a manual lens that the focusing ring would move, but no change in focus, very strange), cameras in which the mirror is hung up, dented lenses, etc. I ask a lot of questions before I buy, but it seems everyone is buying these cameras at an estate sale, and know nothing about them. I asked this last guy how the meter was, and he told me perfect! Just an out and out lie. I might just swear off of ebay. Maybe then I will have more time to take more pictures that way. I mean, how much equipment do you need? This gearhead obsession is distracting sometimes. And mostly due to this list.

I've had two bad ebay auctions out of about 70. Both sellers refunded my money without question. I think that most will. Some people are just ignorant of what constitutes good phottographic equipment.
