But their price does seem similar to some 35mm features they are selling so I suspect they cut & pasted the entry without checking.

No answer yet chaps, i guess if someone buys it at least the postage is free, now that makes it a bargain. [Big Grin]

Well if you're hesitating, you can buy it at £56 over 24 months. That's a lot cheaper than a car!!

Good news everyone, this was a typo error and the seller was happy it was pointed out. [Wink]

One thing you can say about ebay, it does give you an old fashioned "Laugh Out Loud!" moment every now and then, and this was one of 'em!

It was a typo error. Now sold. Revised price was £11.99 including postage.
