Black SP with Nikkor-N 5cm

[kermaier]

Just saw this: eBay item #160993576298
Black SP with 5cm f/1.1 lens for $2000 -- I know very little about Nikon RFs, but that's gotta be a deal!

Ha! sold as I was looking at it.

wow, veryverynice

 

[kermaier]

Yeah, I was thinking of pulling the trigger myself, but I guess it was to good a deal for thinking. :/

 

[maitani]

the lens alone is worth around 3600 or so, let alone the vintage body

funny business - when I go to eBay to see the original listing, my browser shows:

Google Chrome has blocked access to p2ks.com. This website has been reported as a phishing website.
Phishing websites are designed to trick you into disclosing your login, password or other sensitive information by disguising themselves as other websites you may trust

The price and this message make me very suspicious that this is a scam.

Same here. Be careful guys, there was malware in that listing.

When I go to e-bay & enter the item # and do a search, the ad comes up without any of the problems that you have indicated.

 

[kermaier]

I'm using my iPhone eBay app, no problems.

Though I guess pretending the listing has malware might help me stop looking at it and kicking myself. 🙄

Same here.

Some days ago I spotted a listing for a mint Mamiya 6 plus the three 50-75-150 lenses combo on a local classifieds site (the European equivalent of Craigslist). Asking price was about 85% of what the average price of the Mamiya 6 and the 75mm only is, the write-up sounded fair and the photos looked to be original.

But this was a scam, of course. A friend quickly spotted a copycat of this listing on another classifieds site.

Scammers are greatly improving, asked prices are higher than what they were in the past and they now do their homework as for the write-up and the dummy email they use to reply to phished people questions. There, the scammer was using the email coordinates of an honest lady who actually lives in the area the Mamiya 6 was said to be ! 😱
