Pentax shift lens

I recently saw what I thought was an auction for a shift lens on ebyebye. As soon as I saw it I made a bid.

Just before the bid ended I made a high bid at the last minute because i recently lost out on 2 auctions due to last-seconds outbidding.

Anyway, bid over and I find out it was only the case which was on auction. I wondered why no one was bidding and why it went for such a low price. No matter how many times I read the Heading it said shift lens case and instructions.

The seller from the UK kindly accepted that I pay the relisting costs to them and let me off the hook and a nightmare, for which I am thankfull.

The moral of the story - read and re-read each and everyline and ask questions. Thanks for listenning.

Wise advice indeed. In this case it sounds as if the seller wasn't trying to deceive as they let you back out, which probably shows that writing a proper description can be full of pitfalls as well as reading it wrongly.

The classic is, of course, "Dog for sale, eats anything, loves children...."

Glad to hear it all ended equitably.

You have a PM.
