I think it's bang out of order where people come on here asking for top-class equipment then saying "I can only offer £20". Why should we part with our equipment for peanuts? Why should we help these greedy people? You want a top quality camera...then why don't you pay the correct amount of money LIKE WE DID when we bought it. This forum IS NOT a charity.

Well, I've got a tenner here and I'm looking to buy a mint condition GS1200. I've heard they're pretty good machines.

Yes, my tooth came out in 1986 followed by the UNEXPECTED death of my great uncle (aged 108) in 1987. Then, tragically, my car needed a new clutch (after 979,802 miles) so I'm forced to ask if anyone can let me buy an Elmo ST180 for £2.26. And, joking aside, there is one member on here who does write very like this! I repeat...WE ARE NOT A CHARITY.

But Simon, people are different. You may have that feeling but on the other side, it is proven that a very kind member here offered a working Eumig 810D to another member for free.

I was also once given films by other member also for free not even paying for postage.

There are some people not always thinking about money when talking about this hobby.

So there is nothing wrong to put such add. If you don't like it you can just skip it.

My 2 cents,
