Good on him. I hope I, sorry, I mean HE, gets it.... :wink:

Seriously, anyone who pays that is a twit!

They've got to be kidding.

Let the games begin:

Anyone volunteer to tell this person that the Nikon warranty will ot apply, because it is not transferable?

Then point them at Ted's or somewhere where the lens will be around $250.

It's crap like that, that gives legitimate sellers a bad name on Ebay.

I hope he doesn't sell it.

When you follow the 'ask seller a question' link, isn't that question usually displayed on the listing page? :wink:

I don't get why you're all so outraged. Nobody is being forced to buy it. :roll:

If someone pays that because they haven't bothered to actually check first how much the lens is worth, then frankly, that's idiot tax.

Just word your question differently.

Ask "What's different from this one and the cheaper 70-300G's that Ted's Camera sells?"

I sent him a message suggesting that he should have let people know if was the VR for that price as the one he had listed was approx $360 retail :wink:

Just had an email from oxygensolutions re his ebay ad:

Hi, there has been an error both in the lens image supplied and the description, I will withdraw it from sale and re listed in due course.
