I claimed that back! Said that "the buyer didn't want the item", eBay contacted him and within the hour he'd agreed so I get a full refund.

The first time it was up I had a few eBayers asking me if I'd split the package - I figured this way I'll increase the number of potential buyers and if anybody does want both they can bid on both - I do discounts for combined postage.

Last time the pair fetched £88 so keep watching - it'll be an interesting lesson for future auctions if nothing else!

I too would probably rather have a second-hand K10D for exactly the same reasons Pete states above (viewfinder / extra control wheel), however, buying used isn't practical for everybody and if I couldn't afford a K20D then the K200D would be the next best thing.

How odd! Works for me

You could try this link direct to the auction to the Samsung 12-24 and then click on "view seller's other items" or just do a search for "hefty2002" (my eBay user name).

He only had 3 feedback, was registered in Holland and mailed me at the end of the auction to ask how much postage would be to China instead. I replied, then gave a couple of gentle reminders, never heard back. I run a strict "no money after 7 days (unless agreed) you lose" rule so now it's up for auction again. To be honest, by splitting the body and lens hopefully I'll end up getting more than I did when I bundled them together - that's how eBay usually works so we'll see. His loss!

Sorry about the 12-24 but I had listed it on here back in December and nobody wanted it for £350 which I thought was a good price. With the £ being so weak right now I'm expecting a bit more than that over on eBay. Hope so anyway, it owes me that much...

From memory it was announced at the start of 2008 - a blink of the eye in Pentax launch terms! Probably another year to go before it's actually in the shops...

Congratulations fella - they'll keep you busy!

When I put some items on eBay a couple of weeks ago I didn't leave a link here until the last minute - this time I'm giving you all the heads-up right at the start.

hefty's eBay goodies

There's:

Pentax MZ-5n (from the last auction - buyer pulled out)
Pentax FA 28-70 f/4 (I've split this and the MZ-5n into seperate auctions this time)
Pentax ME body with ERC
Pentax M 50 f/1.4
Pentax M 135 f/3.5
Pentax F 70-210 f/4-5.6
Kenlock 2x TC
Pentax dedicated Sunpak flash (tilt AND swivel and with full manual override!)
Samsung SA 12-24 f/4 (yes, the very same Pentax DA 12-24 clone I was offering on here before Xmas - be interesting to see if it was worth waiting until the cashbacks ended as it's now mine and it owes me some money)

If anyone fancies a bid on anything I'd be very grateful!

Hello and welcome to the forum

Hello Kate and welcome to the forum

Hi and welcome to the forum - I second Scott's suggestion re: Sanyo Eneloop batteries. I know nothing of Macs I'm afraid...

Only part of the £19 is duty, around £8 (from memory?) is the Post Office's handling charge. Could be worse, UPS once charged me a £40 handling charge for c.£10 of unpaid duty - hence I now refuse to deal with sellers outside the EU who ship via UPS.
