Slim Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Been looking at old second hand Canon 350d/450d/1000d on ebay for the past few weeks to help in my pursuit of astro images, made a few bids but always lost out as I didn't want to pay over £200 for a second hand camera. The other day I noticed an listing for a 1100d that was only a two day listing with only one bid at £199.Read the blurb and the seller said she had bought it as a birthday present for her son who then won a better camera in a competition before his birthday so they were selling the 1100d which was brand new and had never been used, likely story I thought! Anyway I watched it and with an hour to go there were no new bids, so thought stuff it even if it's second hand and I can get it for less than £250 it's worth a punt. Managed to get it for £240, which is £70 cheaper than anywhere I'd seen online. So then began the wait for it to arrive. Just turned up and it's brand spanking new.

JamesF Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's certainly possible to get decent things at low prices on ebay sometimes. It just demands an awful lot of patience.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
