Colin,
Did you see what this guy uses to build up his positive feedback?
Tee-shirts and Tupperware.
Hope you get satisfaction from him.
My only negative experience buying a camera on eBay, ended with the
seller promptly refunding me the purchase and shipping charges. Hope
this happens to you.
I should be getting my Dad's copy any day now. Send me your address and
I'll ship it off to you at no cost.
Later!

The seller is only 45 minutes away from me if you need assistance.

I don't have it in front of me, as I'm not currently
at home. I don't recall seeing a number on the screen
itself, but there is some writing on the baggy that it
came in. I'll look when I go home later this evening,
will post what I find then.

Hi!
I have a question that seems to be related to Collin's case. Is it
customary in this list to post eBay auctions asking advise on item
description etc? Or it would surely mean that one who really wants the
item will not get it through his fellow PDMLer's outbidding him/her...
I looked at that
Vic,
Similar story here... Shot my daughter's gymnastics meet Friday with the LX,
winder, K200/2.5 and a monopod. I shot the Fuji 800 at 1600 and let the
machine prints compensate. Nice lens, nice results!

I'm reluctant to mention it, but I've bought 2 items recently and had to send
them back...with good results. Both items were in 'bargain' condition, but
each in it's own way turned up with a major problem. Both sellers refunded
