[QUOTE="nickt, post: 147676, member: 4923"] I have bought and sold camera equipment on ebay. Some very reputable stores also sell on ebay. I have bought lenses from individuals. I look at feedback. I look at pictures. Pictures of cameras and lenses with no dust cap in sight disturb me. I look at other items the seller might be selling. Does he look like a pawn shop or is he a fellow hobbyist who is making changes? Did he write an extended description or just go with the ebay provided description? I like a personal item description telling what it is and why he is selling it. This shows that the seller knows what he is selling and most likely owns and has used it. No extra description: red flag. Maybe a scam or maybe just some guy selling something he bought in hopes of reselling at a profit with no knowledge if it works or if it has been cared for. [/QUOTE]
