i betcha that guy or gal never misses a dot on the I or a cross on a T .

i went cross eyed trying reading the description .

No denying it is very nice, but his explanation about why the batteries are missing but their packaging is still there is a bit iffy. I'd have him check the battery compartment for corrosion before bidding. Who knows, the camera may be virtually unused, but with the batteries in there for 20 years...

[James (DC)]

His explanation of removing the batteries seems straightforward. He removed them when he bought the camera. Although even mentioning this does seem odd. So I agree that checking into that is worthwhile. $1,900 in 1987 does seem a bit pricey for the camera, as I don't expect it to go that high today. As the shutter doesn't seem to have been exercised, I'd expect it to be close to needing at least a partial CLA as well.

I want the sticker.

Hey, that's my Zip code in the description! Is this an omen of some kind?
Gotta think about this.

If he has 2000 transactions, that raises a red flag in my mind as to whether this is really HIS camera or one he came into by other means. 2000 transactions seems too high for a private guy, more like a business is being run.

I think I am a bit fickle and buy and sell a lot, and after 10 years I'm around 175 transactions.

The receipt is in the photograph. This definitely looks legit. I am not connected to this guy at all. I predict the camera will go over $2000.00 purchased by a collector , never to be used. What a waste.
