Someone Should Grab this F3 - Why not an APUG'er?

[copake_ham]

I have absolutely no connection to the seller of this F3!

I just saw this on eBay and the BIN is spectacular for what seems to be a very clean F3 body.

Why don't I grab it? I already have three of them! I'd be drawn and quartered if I got another one.

This is a deal for someone - hope an APUG'er gets it!

I've got mine...and one's enough for me. Plus, I won my bid at $171!

Buy it anyway and use this company.

Looks like it took a tumble....ding to the right of the advance lever. Could've sustained internal damage.

Good catch. Certainly worth an inquiry to the seller.

well- the ad says the ding is 'cosmetic'. I would certainly take that to mean that it does not affect the operation of the camera at all. Clearly- the seller is now bound to guarantee that's the case, and would refund your money were it not the case, right?

No HP !! Doh!!

Although I suppose one could buy an HP finder after buying the body.

Great camera though. I love and baby mine so much, its not funny.

I had an FM2n with a comparable ding: It fell 1.5m on solid marble but was still usable (which saved the end of my back). I would not buy a dead cat from someone calling such a ding "cosmetic" as it is a clear sign of a severe impact which he tries to hide from his potentials buyers.
