    First... I think this thread is in the wrong place.

    Second... I would avoid this auction because:

    The individual is listing products he does not seem to have in his posession.

    There is no time limit set on when he will recieve 60 confirmed orders, it could be months.

    The individual has only 4 feedbacks as a seller, one is positive but mentions problems, 1 is negative, which means 2 are totally positve. For the math chalanged thats 50 percent. I dont like doing business with someone that only makes half of their customers happy.

    There is no picture of the camera itself, again suggesting that the seller does not actually have the camera in their possesion.




    I have done a bit of buying and selling on ebay.

    and I personally would not bid on this auction even if I were shopping for this camera.

    I am not saying anything bad about the seller, just sayin buyer beware. Choose carefully.

    My guess is that he is the seller. He claims to have ordered one of the cameras, but there are no bidders on the auction, the seller has never listed it before.

    Ebay is over for me...too many village idiots in it now. Spoils it for the good guys.

    The post certainly stinks of his own smell.

    Moved.

    If I were looking to buy an f828, I don't think I'd bid on this 'auction.'

    This also didn't smell right to me.

    Besides the price isn't that great. Use froogle.google.com or bizrate.com. They find actual stores with the camera for ~$650.
    If not now, when?
