Yes. But small items only. Fast shipping, condition as described, outrageous pricing.
He is generally supposed to be one of the reasonably honest ones among the overpriced sellers (there are others with a much worse track record). It does not go quite as far as announcing items in poor condition as wasted or broken on the title line, but he generally gives an accurate description in the fine print and will show the damage in detail on some pictures.
Given the price, he is not really a reasonable source, unless time is a more critical factor than cost - he prices at roughly double book value, and book value already is twice the ebay going rate. You can get anything at half to quarter the price if you can wait...

Thanks for the headsup. I was looking at a lightmeter he had. It was about half the price I have found in sweden. I'll keep looking though and see if anything else show up. _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

I find this seller to over charge on most of his camera's. I wouldnt buy from him, I can find the same gear for much less money 90% of the time.

This is the same guy who claimed the Fujinon X lens was a PK mount?
HA Ha Ha!!!
I forgot about that...
I always see him selling cameras for way over what they are worth. I ignore this guy. _________________ Nikons : F4-EM-FG-FE2-FA-EL-FTN-N2020-N70-F Nikkorex
