I always suggest people look at the prices of the many UK dealers listed so far in this thread before they buy anything off Ebay. Some like MW Classic sometimes sell via their ebay store, with no reserve or Buy it Now prices and use the information t set they prices in their (non ebay) Online/physical stores.
It's not about someone not making a profit rather that there's something not right with trying to sell items for 2-3x the going rate and listing quite a few of them. A prime example is 90mm f6.8 Angulons where the going rate is between £70-£120, the norm being around £90 from reputable dealers often with a 90 day or six month warranty, so listing 4 at £236 which is way above typical completed sales for the same lens, that says a lot.
There are a couple of other UK Ebay stores who over price LF equipment, not usually by as much, one camera (an MPP) has been for sale for well over 2½ years, it's like fishing except they are waiting for the gullible or naive new or potential LF users to bite.
There's a London camera shop that people always warn about on APUG who do the same, they don't price equipment openly then try and fleece people, they have a bad reputation as a consequence.
It's trying to ensure that people do a little research into what they want to buy first, checking out new or second-hand prices before hand, realising who are the reputable dealers and ebay stores.
The best UK/EU places to buy LF equipment are the classifieds on this site and the Large Format site, but that's not what the OP asked
