Wow. That's a killer deal!

 

[FrankS]

if i hadn't bought my om4 last night on ebay, i would have tried for this one. actually if the om4 were all i bought, i still would have gone after this, but i also bought a contax rts ($55).

 

[Pickett Wilson]

Unfortunately, I'm about as far from Canada as you can get in the U.S. 🙂

 

[FrankS]

any locals willing to help out?

Is the OM-4 only available for sale in Canada??? My Hexar AF came from Brandon and that transaction went very smooth.....

 

[FrankS]

contact seller to find out. good luck!

Buy it Frank...you can never just have one OM-4.

 

[johnny9fingers]

I'm tapped out for a couple weeks otherwise I would have already bought this....

 

[FrankS]

i emailed seller to see if it's still available, waiting for reply. i'd have to sell some gear. i've got contax mount jupiter 35mm and 85mm lenses listed at pnet, as well as a nikon f3hp. i may still have to sell one m2, if i went through with this, i don't know.

 

[Pickett Wilson]

Well, I would have jumped on it but long ways off and sight unseen. Not comfortable with that.

 

[FrankS]

i could go and pick it up but it would mean 3 really long days of driving from here. i can get to florida in 2.

 

[johnny9fingers]

I could get there in about 9 1/2 hours, get a room, then catch a fight to see if a hockey game breaks out ; )

 

[FrankS]

the seller has someone coming to look at it this afternoon. kijiji is really about local sales.

Looks like it's gone now, what lens did it come with?

As far as local stuff, I've bought a couple things through Craigslist from other cities (use a site that aggregates the search) and it's worked out well for me so far. In fact, my Aero Ektar just arrived today from Ohio, I saved quite a bit of money versus buying it on eBay.
