First dealing I had with them was a decade ago, when I picked up a Linhof Technika III in very good condition (no
complaints about it there). I later obtained an International Back and a few accessories for it from various sources and
was quite happy with the camera.
A couple of years later I bought another item from them, but nothing arrived in the post and they didn't respond to emails or phone calls, so eventually flexed my card company and got a refund.
Another two years went by and I saw an very clean Mamiya 645 55-110 zoom at a decent price, so bought it, and the same happened. Had to invoke my card company again for a refund.
I can understand the trials and tribulations of a small company running around trying to keep track of stock and hoping they've still got the items that are still up for sale, but if they'd even said to me "Sorry, we sold that last week", that would have been fine.
I might roll the dice again, as I certainly don't believe they're scammers, just disorganised. _________________ Dave - Moderator
