I was a checking out flea bay and noticed a decent looking GSN. Bid 20 and got it for a little less. I recived it today and the seller was not far off when he said new condition. I got a super clean ( not a mark on it anywhere) Hong Kong GSN that I could find no sign of film being loaded. Not a mark inside not even a finger print. Installed a battery and works super. I guess for all those ebay dogs out there there are a few good ones. New GSN

I know what you mean, Frank. I have been "sober" for a couple of months now.

Congratulations, John!
 
Heh. Sorry, John. Didn't mean to rain on your parade.
Frank started it. ;)
 
rain where is it raining. I am a refourmed ebayer. I had a previous ebay name with about 400 pos sales and purchases. I stopped using it after it got hyjacked and stayed off ebay for quite some time. But I still watch a few intresting (to me) searches
 
I think when I began to sell on there to feed my habit, it went wrong. A buyer's paypal complaint against me has completely screwed up my account with them.

I can't buy, I can't sell.

I've been sober ever since, lol

Nice find John, I did something similar and won a GSN for $15 once.

I'm paying about 1/3rd of that for a lens cap for my GSN!

Good buy,

I had a similar experience with a Himatic 7s but I've found for every pedigree I end up buying 2 or 3 mutts, at least I have plenty of spares and something practice a repair or mod on.
 
That's what I expected...

That's what I expected...

I'm 1 for 1 on Minoltas, but 2 out of 2 GSNs, and 2 out of 2 XA's. I better quit while I'm ahead :D
