"Private Listing - bidders' identities protected" rolleyes - usually suspicious in my book.

Agreed, but if he's getting his mates to bid, what is he really gaining? Nobody sane is going to pay £1019 for it, so if we assume he's sold it to a 'friend', he'll just get clobbered for final value fees and still have the camera...

There's a queue you know...

As for X-Factor 2009, you can get in for nothing. All you have to do is stand in the rain for 8 hours then go on stage and sing 'Suspicious Minds' etc spin

I've just bought one for a smidgen under £500, from a dealer no less. 4500 shutter actuations, looks like new. Ebay is bonkers sometimes.

There was another one here, again body only, that went for £3,110 only a few days ago but if you look the winning bidder is no longer registered on eBay. There are some complete headcases out there.

I can't believe they're legitimate sales, somehow. Maybe there's some kind of dodgy deal going on, money laundering, tax avoidance?
