Another pointless thread

I downt doo sellin stufe on the bay cos it kosts 2 much m8

It's a long word to them...

Just found an "interesting" listing

No previous selling feedback, only a library shot (which is of the wrong camera)... It may be completely legit but I wouldn't be inclined to buy without some proper photos of the items for sale.

I have just ordered a bright red Panasonic DMC ZX3 compact for my youngest daughter-in-law. No idea if it is any good. I hope so. It is smaller than their TZ8 but still has an 8x zoom, and 25mm wide angle.

She is off to Australia for three months at the end of the month and so will be away for her birthday and Christmas. So I thought she might like a camera to go with her as a combined present.

I wanted the new Pentax RZ10 for her, but can't wait until it's available. She has to have time to learn how to use her camera before she goes, even if it is only a P&S.

Maybe I'll buy the RZ10 for myself . It's a lot cheaper than the Panny in any case.

Listed as Auto focus, red eye reduction and as a point and shoot and zoom (though no lens info)

I might just be tempted to bid on that and then complain that the item is not as described, I wonder how much he'd knock off

Mr Spider

You are a BAD man - but that would be fun

I`ve sent him an email to query photo and what lenses he is selling

I wouldn't really do it TT I believe in Karma.

So if anyone else want to have a go feel free

If they included an M 50mm f1.4 and 100mm f2.8 I'd be interested, but given that it's an MV1 my guess would be:

Pentax-M 50mm f2

Generic 28mm

Generic 80-200mm zoom

Keeping my eyes open for a 50mm f1.4 for about the £50 mark, I fancy getting one for my MX.

Careful DM, Gwyn will be along shortly to admonish you!

I know, I know, a 50/1.4 for £50 is a completely unrealistic expectation...

There's one listed at the moment with a fungus problem. Doesn't bother me as I'm pretty adept at dismantling and cleaning shorter lenses (the f1.7 on the MX at the moment is a fungus survivor and works perfectly), so I shall watch with interest in case it puts others off bidding.

Well - I got my reply ..............................

Now we know, with that spelling and grammar I still wouldn't trust him and the price is way too high.

On a brighter note, It's sunny and I can go out and play with any camera I like today.

So the boss realises that she hasn't got a document from work to take with her to uni in the morning.

I install a new printer, in a rush, and start printing.

64 pages later the poxy 1/2 full supplied cartridges run out!

I had to dig out a redundant spare printer, install and then print he last page!

What an afternoon!

Our printer decided to trash two pages of photo paper recently, after the red and yellow nozzles blocked causing images to come out in blue. Most annoying as one of them was the not-inexpensive canvas effect stuff which looks great but isn't easy to come by.

It took my husband 5 goes to print out a boarding pass and two train tickets. He hardly ever uses his printer so it was dried up and a mess.
I printed them with mine in the end.

Now he's trying to Skype me, but I can't hear him .
