Downright fradulent ebay practices.

seller informs me that he found the box in the warehouse

seller informs me that he found the box in the warehouse

talk to the seller, (you can ask his phone number through ebay.
seems his packer has already picked up the camera and fedex on the way.

the packer found a box comes with the camera but could not tell whether it is the original leica box.

I offered him 12000 but he rejected because some other people has offered 13000 or more.

seems he is waiting to see the condition and decide what he is going to ask for.

if he does not take any offer derectly, he will probably start a price such as 13000.

hmmm, too bad for me.

No bidding game to play................

never see such a nice camera on ebay before..........maybe never in the future.....
 
Using real estate terminology, he is "flipping contracts" on cameras. I'd be wary as hell of that kind of seller.

There was recently a US Government liquidation sale of a Leica KE-7A camera (Military M4) with a lens and a few accessories. It sold for $9,600 here to an unnamed bidder.

There is also currently an auction on ebay here of a Leica KE-7A. However, in the body of the description the seller admits several things, quoted:

"Fine print: I have not got it in my hands, should be in a week, I will take more pictures and more details about the condition when I get it."

"As for now, I do not know whether there is any box comes with it. I will confirm it next week; the item will be arriving in my home in about 10 days."

"I will provide a bill of sale from the government sales for the authentic proof."

and if that isn't enough,

"I may end this auction early and relist it after I get it,"

Is it even legal to sell an item you do not have in hand and possibly do not even own? What is to say that he lost the government auction but still decided to keep this ebay auction up?
The auction is to end in 9 days, 10 hours from now (June 3 at 19h); but by notint that the "item will be arriving in my home in about 10 days" he admits that he will not have it in hand until after the auction has ended!

And he is charging $150 for shipping in the contiguous US ($180 overseas), due to the "high cost of insurance."


What a sleeze.

Not the first ebay sleeze, and certainly won't be the last...

I had a guy sell me a counterfeit Sandisk CF Card earlier this year... he used fake pictures... and direct from Sandisk specifications. Hello Copy & Paste!

The man had 100% feedback, and was registered for a lengthy period of time, too.

I went thought the time and effort of emailing ebay and squaretrade. Finally got refund, and CF Card was sent to Sandisk so they could ascertain the quality of the counterfeit and persue legal action.
 
now he has relisted, asking 16,000 free shipping in the USA asking for offers minimum offer 15,300 much better add, he also does not say he does NOT have the camera this time
