This is a quote from the auction... "comes with instructer manual and threads automaticly. i start the bidding at a very silly price." He is not kidding so he must be serious!

Read his feedback as a "buyer" and you can see he just purchased this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250794356118

One is tempted to contact him and ask if perhaps he's made a mistake??

I've already done it, Mark [Wink]

I shall expect a snotty reply - if I even get one.

I'll probably be banned from his auctions like dwg1000 did to me for asking the wrong questions!!

"very silly" is right!

I sold one of these in perfect working order for $70....maybe he hit the '0' key one to many times!

Well, that's what I asked the seller - simply:

"Hi
Have you made a mistake with the asking price for this?"

Very funny....

The seller bought it from another buyer for GBP 146 or eqv $240 !!

With the same amount of money he could buy a ST1200 instead.

But guys don't we have a specific combined thread for this kind of silly listing?

Talking of being 'barred' by ebay sellers, I'm barred by Vladthe@@@@@@ for asking why he buys super 8 films off ebay and then resells them as is own at a higher price? Funny that

Yes Mark, and he always states that that the films are "unchecked", as he does not have a projector???

Why would someone, who "buys" film, not have a projector??

By the way I'm "barred" as well for complaining about an "incomplete" film. Apparently the box the film came in was worth "an absolute fortune" so why should I complain????

Looks like he bought something from me a month ago, maybe he'll try and resell his roll of part-used splicing tape for a huge mark-up!

That doesn't always happen; he once spent a fairly substantial sum buying a film I put on eBay, and then resold it for a much lower price! I'm sure he does have projectors.

Isn't he the guy that puts stuff up with the disclaimer - "this could be standard 8 or super 8,I can't be bothered to look so you'll have to take a chance!!!"

The seller seems to have lowered his price, though it still seems way too high for this machine.
