Normally I'd steer clear of these things but for just £16.22 including p&p and insurance I figured it had to be worth a gamble to be honest.
I've paid via PayPal and had an automated response telling me that the flash will be shipped within 72 hours and I should expect it to arrive within 16 working days - so sometime in early / mid January.
I'll let you all know if it ever actually materialises or whether it becomes a PayPal dispute somewhere down the line...

Looks like somebody else took a gamble as well, the item is now finished, I think there were at least 2 on offer.
Is it another forum user? If so their braver than me!

Good luck with it. you may need it, did you go through his neg feedback, most are for non reciept of goods.
I was tempted to have a stab at it, but have a nagging feeling it may turn out to be just a DVD user manual. Lets hope not for your sake.

I did notice he's had 4 negatives in the last month, but then he's also had 132 positives in the same timescale...
And yes Clarky, I had a nagging feeling it may be some sort of DVD user manual or similar, but if that's the case I'll refuse delivery and get my payment refunded - after all it's not what he's advertised so I'd be quite within my rights to do so.
After a good night's sleep I still reckon it was worth a gamble - I've put more money on horses with a far slimmer chance of seeing any return on my investment, and if this "horse" loses I can claim my stake back.

I'll confess to being the other person taking a punt. We will see what happens!

4 negatives out of 141 sales in a month is not a great percentage, especially as Ebay no longer allows the seller retalitory feedback.In the past month alone the seller has had 4 negatives all for non reciept of goods.
The buyer now holds all the cards and can trash a sellers rep in an instant with no fear of comeback.

I know I don't - check out the feedback!
If there are brave enough people here... you never know
By the way, I wonder what the risks are, if you pay with paypal?
Good luck!
PS: I've sent them these questions
"Hi,
Is this item (ebay number 120352504444)for sale a Pentax 360FGZ hotshoe flash, or is it a mistake?
Is it new or used?
Is it functional and in good condition?
Does it come with a manufacturer's warranty?"
and received this:
"Dear customer, Thank you for contacting us. Please be informed that we only sell brand new and factory sealed merchandise. If you have any further questions or requests, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Sincerely, Customer Service Department"
