Do NOT buy from "neverintel" on eBay! SCAM!

Thanks, flatwood, but I'll only be happy and consider it an ending once I have the camera in hands ;-)

So far the tracking number he provided doesn't seem to be working >_<

I've seen it in flea markets in San Francisco for $40, I passed at the time because of the difficulty in getting Single-8 film. I lived to regret my mistake, because now we can buy from Kent. 8)

Where is the flea market you speak of??? I'm so going there this weekend.

Well ok, it wasn't in SF, it really in Emeryville, I used SF as place of reference. I don't know where exactly, this was 6 years ago.

I think Ebay is the biggest best but incompetently run sales engine in the world. Most people love Ebay, BUT they have no ability to "police" bad deals without first making the customer go through several automated hoops.

I recommend writing to the Consumer Protection Agency in your state. It takes one out of 54 motivated CPA's (one for each state, plus a couple regions outside of the U.S.) to hold eBay accountable, maybe the CPA in your state is the one.

I recently won an auction and was immediately emailed where to send the money. The whole thing seemed suspicious to me and it turned out the ad was a complete fake!

Check out the level of trickery.

The guy tried to get me to send funds to a German banking address even though the item was in Missouri.
