Just in case you ever wonder of you are getting a good deal JUST because its listed on Ebay, think again and COMPARE prices with authorized sellers. This Ebay scammer has apparently sold 4 of these units already to unsuspecting buyers?????

Its a very expensive camera, but $5600 shipped is way over the line! ;-)

Want one??

That's my point, BEWARE of pretty much ANYTHING listed on Ebay. Its gotten so bad in recent years that you seldom get exactly what you think you are getting these days.

Wow! B&H has it for $2798 with free shipping...

So, this person is selling the camera for about 2x plus $1k shipping! I am definitely in the wrong business!! :shock:

I actually wonder if the vendor is not American and confused the currency.

HKD vs USD for example.

Based in Taiwan, shipping from Hong Kong, Russian Cyrrilic text on their user page. And they show 100% user rating???? Clearly shows why you cannot trust Ebay much of the time. It always pays to check out the seller!

A big tip off is seller outside of US, and then not comparing price. I had a bad eBay experience from a Canadian seller, buying some golf clubs, and they were forgeries, which I quickly discovered upon delivery. Fortunately PayPal protected me and I returned the forgeries to the seller and posted to everyone I knew of these unscrupulous practices by this seller, who was, at least, temporarily shut down on eBay. Any camera equipment I buy comes from reputable sources and all golf equipment comes from a PGA professional.

It's certainly a shame how things that were once good have turned bad.

I've had good results dealing with individuals on ebay, but I avoid those big foreign companies. If it's a cheap item, I'll take a chance. So far, so good.
