Interesting views, however my experience with used photographic equipment bought from e-bay in the UK has been good, but it only extends to inexpensive purchases. I have found that some "hobby" sellers give pessimistic descriptions, perhaps to avoid complaints, or to ensure positive feedback, or perhaps they just want to give buyers a fair deal! My last purchase was a 1946 Kodak 35RF for less than £12(about $24?) described as only suitable for spares, but now taking good quality photographs after routine maintenance. Looking very carefully at a sellers record on e-bay (and reading between the lines) will often give an indication of the level of risk you take if you buy from them? Neil |
