Just bought my first range finder on ebay but it certainly wasn't "in good condition" as he claimed and is being difficult about it.
this is the message i sent to him explaining my problem:
If he didn't know about cameras or if it worked internally he should of said so in his auction, no?
I'm posting here to ask if you think I'm being fair and if so what should i do now?
Also i think this is wrong section, please move thanks.
EDIT: thanks, one day i will manage to post in the right place 🙂

He replied:Hi, thanks for sending the camera. I have taken the camera to a camera repair shop today in Manchester as I noticed a couple of problems, the light seals were completely decayed and the aperture blades had leaked oil on them, other than that there were a few minor faults such as inaccurate shutter speeds and inaccurate range finder. The camera shop confirmed these issues and quoted me £40 to return the camera body to working order, they felt however the lens wasn't economically viable and would cost hundreds to take apart and clean properly. Because of these issues i don't feel good condition is a fair description. I am prepared to accept the condition of the lens as the oil currently only effects the value of the lens but would appreciate you reimbursing me the £40 it will cost return the camera to working order. Thanks, Ryan.
The listing described absolutely no faults with the item and the only thing said on its condition was "in good condition"Hi thank you but due the camera was sold as seen and I never siad it was perfect or that i could confirm it was in working order. So i am sorry but I will not refund you the £40.00.
