Cameras I consider high risk. The Minolta I have listed has had a lot of interest, on here and elsewhere, finding a genuine buyer though is nigh on impossible.

'Risk' would be buying a camera advertised on eBay as 'Used', (i.e. "An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended") from a seller who admits "I haven't tested however. Selling as is."

It's an old camera. I don't know how to test it. I need to find an old dinosaur to help me. Do you have any free time?

Mate have you ever lost a significant sum of money to scammers? Your comment is ignorant. This kind of description is common now because of the buyer money back guarantee and the length of time they have to do paypal claims.

 

Contrary to what you are insinuating, which I don't appreciate btw **bleep**, it isn't (I'm not) dodgy or 'risky', purely a protective measure adopted by many now. You also seem to make continued assumptions about me, I'm guessing based on the type of things I sell. You don't know anything about me so stop judging me. I recently listed a high risk item fully tested, like new in the box, and got scammed. Will never EVER do that again. So you can keep your incorrect insinuations to yourself. No need to be nasty

My goodness, what an overreaction!

 

Your description contradicts the condition classification you've selected - it's as simple as that.  If you're not going to test something to establish functionality but advertise it as "fully operational" (which is what you're saying by selecting 'Used'), then you're opening yourself up to problems later on.

 

If you're not gonna test things, classify their condition as 'For parts or not working' - eBay doesn't give two hoots about your description in a dispute. A camera that old could have numerous things wrong with it - I would elaborate, but don't want to bother you with further "ignorant" details.

You have been trolling me mate and you need to stop. Whatever your issues are, don't put them off onto me

You're imagining things. I honestly don't pay attention to most of your posts and see now that's probably for the best.

We both know that's rubbish. You read everything
