Heads up anyone looking for a SPC

[spaceboy]

Hi All

I don't know the fella selling these but he sure does seem to have a lot and they were all listed at £3.99 starting bids so it may well be worth a punt if you have been looking for one http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/5582nicholasb/m.html?item=251276993518&pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_Webcams&hash=item3a8146a3ee&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

very interesting do you think it a con ?

[Delboy_Hog]

Wow, haven't seen any (below £80) for a while. I've been looking for a back up in case of any issues with my current one - at £3.99 (I'm sure it'll go up!) it's tempting to have a go...

Looks a bit suspect to me, the current highest bit on all the listings seems to be the same person ... probably someone jacking up the price.

[Delboy_Hog]

Yeah, I wondered that. I stuck my name down for a fiver on one of them, but they're suddenly all up at £25ish. By the time you've bought a nosepiece and a filter, I'd rather save the pennies and get a dedicated planetary camera...

At least, that's what I've just told the Mrs!

Wouldn't surprise me if someone bid on them all to try to get the lot and then dribble them out later for higher prices. Even if you have to buy a nosepiece and filter though, I reckon you could pay £50 for one and still come away with a decent planetary imaging camera for less than you could get anywhere else.
