the russian QC is terrible, recently i bought 5 pieces of lomo LC-A from eeebay, and 3 of them have faulty shutters, so i wasted money to send them back to russia....

wah...so unlucky....but thanks anyway......wanted to try a cheap rangefinder that i can bring with me wherever i go......don't know whether i should trust the guy on yahoo.........

i thought buying the new lomos on eebay can save me more money but end up the same as if you get it here, except on eebay they dont include the original Lomographic Society Book.

careful when buying 2nd items on the net, dont deal immediately, check the item on the spot yourself. dont send money online ot transfer thru bank. there are alot of internet frauds going on nowdays...

"internet frauds "??! That sounds very much like some familiar eBay "buyer" talks Hmm...

 

[j4ck4l]

im not a regular buyer or seller like some people here...

 

[y0gi0h]

did a search as suggested. WOW, really an eye-opener!!
now I begin to understand why some ppl got con to pay high price chasing after some supposedly hot SG items at eb*y :bsmilie:

 

[j4ck4l]

thats what eeeebay is all about...

 

[y0gi0h]

come to think of it, such unscrupulous practice shall be reported to eb*y but then yr frenz would suffer...how? :sweat:

 

[j4ck4l]

everybody is doing buisness in eeefay nowdays...

 

[y0gi0h]

Hey, that's some "clever" editing here :bsmilie:
BUT, I don't think u r out of the wood/hook yet :nono:

Remember you can't erase your eB*y records. Not even when you change your eBay ID from j4ck4l to manics_73 :devil: )
(It's not about wat you said here, but wat u had done that counts!!

Sorry for OT'

Back to the FED question: S$100 for a second hand FED is not worth it, IMHO. New ones go for around US$20+shipping at eBay. Take a look:

FED @eBay
(this one originally has a Buy-it-Now price of US$20, gone now as there are bids.)
And of course, you should check the seller's records very carefully
