It is atypical for that seller, so may be an error or even a hijacked account.

If its a hijacked account then he's pretty rubbish .. the idea is to offer the item a lot cheaper to draw the punters in.
Doubt it's an error given the auction has both a starting AND buy it now price which means he obviously thought about the value quite a bit.

I'd trust him, he has feedback from a member of the forum.
Positive feedback rating Many thanks for fast and smooth transaction!

Well well, I remember that sale. He bought my 100mm macro, no problems whatsoever, good communication and fast payment.
Best regards, John

He should be able to show us his bona fides then.
I think he's just trying to sucker a mug into buying him a new K-5.
Given his expensive lens he might have learned to move the plant pot before taking the picture. Its all I can look at.

Well if someone buys it...
I've just been negotiating the minefield which is used medium format gear. After avoiding listings such as "used for a photography degree" (I remember what student housing was like!) and "selling on behalf of my retired wedding photographer Father" (who most likely used it hard every weekend) I ended up buying a basic kit for about the same money, which was described as "perfect" and from a dealer.
Could I have paid less? Definitely. But I hope I've picked an example with plenty of life left rather than an old pro's worn out trade-in!

I've no experience of the usual prices for these but would wonder if he simply pressed "0" once too many times?

I have a Vivitar 2x teleconverter. I'm thinking I might be able to offer it on ebay for, I don't know, $750.....
What do you guys think?
