Got a brand new A1 for $2850...

I'm curious too as to the outcome of this saga --

maybe his camera has come, shiny and new, warranty covered and all. And maybe now he's rushed off making with it the great movies that is his destiny. He was simply in too much a hurry to tell us the details of his good fortune.

After the suggestion that Morox is maybe gone, I looked to see if he'd made other posts

Nothing -- but I did come across a recent thread of his about a stolen camera that he got (by mistake) -- from ebay.

Oh -- the money quote from that other thread:

"...It's from Ebay and the guy is still selling stuff. He said in his auction that he bought it from a small video company. This guy is located in Massachusetts and the camera itself was stolen in Texas. So it's possible that the person who stole it; sold it on Ebay and that person who bought it sold it to me.

One other thing though. It came with the original box and warranty cards and everything else. Who keeps a camera stored in a box? "

I know I'm too sarcastic for this forum -- but any thread that begins with the words:
"...I am an Ebay connoisseur, so I know how to avoid scams and I am able to sniff one out on the spot."

licks at my most cynical erogenous zones. It too much reminds me of that fellow who waddled about in his faux flight suit in front of his "Mission Accomplished !!" sign.

Ebay connoisseurship is expensively earned, indeed.

I just read that stolen thread. He bought it from somone who bought it from someone else. If that's not shady, then I don't know what is.
 
Morox nooooooooooooo this is just to crazy I am trying to feel bad for you but the

quote is just to much. Am I wrong for smiling as I type this? I don't know what to say other than I hope you get your A1 but maybe just a week or 2 late.
 
I don't get it, what's up with all the speculations and character assasination here? The guy bought a USED A1 from an ebay dealer. Is there anything special about that?

Check the ebay link he gave again, the camera was out of the box, in "virtually new" condition; the price he paid was resonable, nothing to get excited about. If seems to me like some people here are waiting on confirmation so they can go to the dealer for the same price; now you're frustrated because Morox hasn't gotten back to you. Check the link: the guy is only selling ONE A1. He's not selling them in bulk, so this deal is gone.

I blame the title of this thread.
 
Sorry for the long reply here. I was gone for a few days. I had the guy ship it with USPS, which takes forever, but I won't have any unexpected fees at my door (like with UPS).

It should arrive here by Friday or early next week.

Also, this was the only A1 the guy had. He's a powerseller, so just keep an eye out for some of his stuff. He has sold quite a few electronics in the past.
 
Theres a guy on DVInfo.com selling two Canon A1s for $2900 each. You probably can work him down but you have to be a registered member for an specified amount of time before you can see the section let alone post in it. He said he shot one event and decided the business wasn't for him....
 
I just unpacked everything and it looks completely brand new. The warranty papers weren't filled out, the handbook was still sealed and as well as everything else (except for the battery). I only have my cellphone for a camera to take pictures, so I appologize for the shitty quality.




 
Not really, I think things were just getting funny here for a while. His transaction seemed to go over fine. Congrats on the purchase Morox.
 
Ha ha ha! As I was scrolling down the page and I began to see the pictures you posted, I thought you had posted frames from the A1. I was thinking, "Man, that looks like $h!t. This guy really wasted $2800".

Anyway, if you're happy with it and it works, good for you. I guess this puts an end to all of the conspiracy theory surrounding this thread.
 
How do you know the camera isn't stolen? For that price it could've "fallen" off a truck somewhere. Even if you did get it it sounds shady.
