I'm up for any camera in this series: GW/GSW670, GW/GSW680, or GW/GSW690. Prefer to have the iii, but open to others.

Yes, there are plenty on eBay, but I consider eBay a last resort. I'd rather deal with APUG members directly.

Careful with that if they are from Japan. Two that I got from there (and returned) had fungus in the lenses, even thought the seller specifically said no fungus.
I ended up getting one from here in the US - via ebay.

Yes I believe the ones I noticed were in many cases from Japan, maybe they are trying to dump their "B grade" stock on us?

Yes, I wondered if that was the case, ebay is risky, perhaps a little less so when there is a return privilege.

Check with Mike at Fullerton Cameras - 714 441 2443 or (I think) mike@fullertoncameras.com. He currently has a GSW690iii in his used stock. I've had good luck with purchases there; pricing is fair and Mike has a good eye for gear.

I have a GSW690 II (not for sale) and it's a wonderful camera. Nice wide angle too! Recommended.
(And those other two cameras in the window are also very nice)

There was a return privilege but buyer has to pay return postage. From the US to Japan on a camera that size, well, it's a lot.
