It was rumored to have excellent autofocus... Â Bill, Â I heard of a horror story in the UK where someone went to buy a Golf VR6 off eBay. He was bringing cash. The "sellers" were waiting for him but the car was not. He ended up being beaten into a coma, presumably, so that he could not identify anyone at a later date. Â This has happened often enough, that crime/scam programs in the UK have started to warn people about going to collect eBay items with large amounts of cash. My daughter recently bought a horsebox off eBay cash on collection but went with her large husband and an equally large friend to collect.

Bill W Posted August 2, 2013 Share #122 Â Posted August 2, 2013 I figured he would say no. Its funny but I bought my Noctilux a couple of months back and met the guy at my bank and paid cash after inspecting the lens. Since we were meeting at my choice of locations, I felt safe and I did not have the cash on me. I gave him the choice of a bank check on the spot or cash. I got a really great deal on a new Noctilux. I even told the wife what I was doing.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
