Fishy 1Ds Mk 2 on Ebay

Seems incredibly cheap considering it only has 13 odd hours left to run. The seller also mentions checking their feedback on expensive items and yet appears to have no feedback. It is also listed as being in Oxford yet in the text he say near Shorpe.

What do you think? Too fishy or a potential bargain?

he registered today...

treat with extreme care.

Looks like they have put it on a very short auction and have ripped off someone else's text doesn't it.

Looks decidely dodgy.

Ah well, thought it looked a bit too good to be true

[monkeyhanger]

It's as dodgy as a very dodgy thing etc..


The same text was used word for word in a genuine ad a few weeks back for a 1DSMK2 from a Power Seller with a solid gold feedback rating.

Don't even think about it

[matthew_h]

Ah, that makes sense.

Seems to Spidey Senses were correct then.

It went (or someone was had) for £1900.

Hope they don't live to regret that too much

Depends how they pay doesn't it? If you lived in Oxford you could go round, inspect the camera and the seller, then arrange for a mate to come round with the cash/banker's draft. If the camera/seller looks dodgy (doesn't have the boxes, no proof of purchase etc) you walk away...and accept the negative feedback! (Not so great if you get mugged of course...)

If you were local then it would certainly be worth a punt.

This one was the original

I know everyone has to start from 0, but I certainly wouldn't pay £1900 to a 0 feedback seller.
