Buying a LX200

Beware, many of the LX200s offered on ebay are scams. Frequently posted by new ebayers (0 feedback) many are simply copies of listings from USA. Before you send a lot of money by paypal or (worse) bank transfer, check that the item actually exists. Ask for a photo with that day's paper, or taken at a particular angle. Anyone with this sort of kit to sell will own a digital camera, I promise you. Ask about collection, any reputable seller will allow this for heavy, delicate and valuable equipment.


Lastly, report anything suspicious to ebay, they do remove dodgy adverts once someone tells them!
