I've been doing the 400mm search and yesterday ran across this guys ' 1 DAY' auction for not only a 400mm VR model, but a D4 no less. The rub ? He's got zero sales and joined Dec 27th.
Ya, I know, we've all seen it before.. This time it right pissed me off though. He's claiming to be a Canadian from Toronto.
I've never been seen off on eBay before. So if these people go all in for these deals and get rooked, what takes place? Are they just outright buggered? And who in their right mind would hop on this? The people bidding have hundreds of buys & sells to their names... I'm too old to understand this I guess.
THE 400mm 2.8 VR auction
THE D4.
As a post script here... A guy running a 1 day deal would be watching his goods. I sent him a mail asking him for contact info so I could call him and speak, seeing as he has no history and the values.... And to my shock, he's not returned my mail... ...Show more →
This same seller pops up every couple of weeks with a new name, and he has a few sets of the same Nikon gear photos he posts every time, including the D4/400 f2.8 combo. It's a scam, and his ads only last until eBay catches up to him and cancels the listing (which is probably why he now uses one-day listings)
He's just fishing for suckers to contact him outside of eBay... and since there's a sucker born every minute, I'm sure he makes a good income from this scam.
