Does this look a good deal ?

[digiconvert]

Maybe not for me just yet but the dealer seems to do a lot of trade so perhaps in future.
Anyone any views/opinions on this deal ?

NO I AM NOT THE DEALER

Have a look at this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15247&item=7560236741

Who's the buyer?
I don't say it's the very same camera, but...

Always look at the history of the seller. I they sell something they bought not long ago, there might be something wrong with the camera.

[edit]
It is the same camera:
the lensboard has the same text written on the back side.

If you want to try LF photography, take a look at the second-hand LF cameras on this site.

This is always a good tip, however, in this case, it seems that this guy is very active buying and selling Graphics. These cameras go for much more in the UK than in the US (where they are much more common), so a simple profit may be the only motive here. He has sold other similar cameras in the past (e.g. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=627&item=7566765394) and to quote from his auction: "I love these cameras and make sure everyone i sell is in great working order and ready to use without any further work".

So, I would say it looks all 100% above board to me (and I am a wary, suspicious b*gg*er at the best of times ).

Cheers, Bob.

Its a completely different model. He has taken similar photos of it. but that is all.

Always good to be careful on ebay, but if you go too far, you'll never buy anything

Cheers, Bob.
