Yes he could be legitimate - but why would a private seller have two of those lenses? Or all of the other cameras?

And why hide bidder identities?

There is just something odd ...
When I was in the UK I dealt mobile phones on Ebay.

I used to hide bidders identities because the phone business on Ebay was full of dodgy characters who used to look at auctions, see who was bidding on what and contact them via ebays private messaging offering them the same phone at a cheaper price. Im sure that happens on other types of auction.

Bidders IDs are not disclosed. All it says now is Bidder1, Bidder2, Bidder3 &c but you can see what an individuals pattern is. So using the PM system is not an option any longer.

He's also got a camera

Samsung GX-20 Digital Camera Professional New + 1 Lense

Doesn't even say what the Lens is? Stock picture with a 12-24mm on the camera ? £385 with 36 mins to go.

It is tempting to go for it - just for the lens. Pentax version is around £500. Then resell the body alone.

If it turns up with a different lens then a dispute through ebay or a refund.

You might even be able to sue the seller direct for "Loss of Bargain"
and buy the camera and lens at full retail elsewhere

Went for £485.... high price considering the guarantee is a bit
dodgy and the lens unknown.

It looks like mine was reasonable too, not bought on fleabay, but from the Cameraworld stand at Focus yesterday. Price? a mere £180 for a brand new model. So if you want one get over to Focus tomorrow or Weds and get one. (normal cameraworld price is £195)
