    I've had all I can take of this sellers title spamming.

    I've had all I can take of Ebay seller cameo_need_ham spamming in his titles and have reported sales;


    Item number(s):
    270216351257
    270216351819
    270216352061
    270216352743
    270216353686
    270216354630
    270216354898

    to Ebay. I would avoid this seller as a patent liar. Enough is enough.

    I dont know why this person bothers you.. seems to be the norm for ebay.
    Hopefully anyone buying these types of lenses will frequent this and other forums and ask questions before buying.

    This seller goes way beyond anyone else I've seen on eBay. I've reported his auctions to eBay before, but nothings every happened. I'm joining Jim on this one, with the hope that multiple complaints will bring some action.

    ps: Love the Verito-like exemplar in 270216351257 :o

    Telling Porkies

    Over-stating the equipments, gross exaggeration, adding words that have no relevance in the titles. When has a Ross WA been an Ektar ?

    Dan, I'm sure some of the images are the same as Pak Harry's, the Dagor literature seems familiar. And 270216352302 the triple convertible Linhof f6.8 90mm Angulon is very definitely Pak Harry again.

    Title spamming is where you put names in the title that people have in their search engines in order to get a lot of people looking at your sale that has nothing what-so-ever to do with the word you used, like Verito and Golden Dagor. Both are high dollar items in demand and this guy is not only re-directing traffic, he's over embelishing by HUGE amount with his false associations. Actually many of his lenses are fantastic in their own right if represented correctly. Large landscape meniscus lenses are similar to what you get with the much more expensive Gundlach Achromatic Meniscus lens. They're basically the same thing. And the Puyo artistique lens is probably a very worthy piece. But it has nothing in common with a Verito.

    Dave, a Golden Dagor is nothing more than a very late model Goerz Dagor. The factory ran out of black paint and some genious said let's polish the brass and lacquer it and call it a Golden Dagor. Collectors pay as much as 3 times for the varnish vss. paint version. Nothing that this seller called a Golden Dagor is even remotely close.

    I also hate the price fraudsters as well.. They sell items for incredible deals such as $2.99 then charge $65.00 shipping :rolleyes:
