If anyone has a Canon EOS 620 film camera in excellent Working Condition I am in the market.
Not an EOS 620. They have an EOS 650.
Most are junk. Not working and for parts only. Would prefer to find someone on UHH who has one in pristine condition.

Beg to differ...
I'm near 20 years on eBay. Well over 1000 transactions. Mostly camera's. Hardly ever disappointed if you know what you are doing. Have purchased good to pristine more often than bad. Have purposely bought bad for parts, but most of my current shooters came from eBay. And I am very likely more particular than you are in what I buy, shoot and sell. My Elan is a near mint camera, bag and 20+ filters w/book. Paid $50 plus ship.
1)look for a reasonable amount of feedback spread evenly over time
2)never buy from anyone less than 99.7 feedback, preferably 100%,
3)Question the buyer using "ask the buyer a question". Confirm condition.
4)Don't be in a hurry. What you seek is WAY less than rare.
5)Camera's as a rule are not "beat up" as much as you think, although they may have spent much closet time.
I'll bet well over half of the eBay offerings right now are as pristine as you will find on any forum classifieds. I've gotten some real crap on forum classifieds.

Not knocking eBay. I agree it's a great source but right now they don't have an EOS 620 that meets my pristine criteria. I'm patient so I'm sure something will turn up.

Fully agree with this and will add make sure returns are accepted.
I have a Canon EOS 620 in Excellent working Condition, with a 28 - 70 zoom lense, 200E speedlight, user manual & camera strap.,
Make resonable offer and I will send it to you for the postage. Try it out if not satisfied send it back and I'll pay the postage for return.
send me a message at clydetaylor36@gmail.com.
Only 15 are EOS620. Many are outside the US. Several are described as broken, parts only or as is. None are described as being in excellent operating and pristine condition.

Ah yes, patience.... SHB on my list. Nothing is rare, which patience proves out. Good Luck.
