Psychobilly Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Someone will pay it and think they have got a bargain....Its not uncommon for some items to go for "silly" money on ebay especially if theres a bidding frenzy by people who haven't properly researched the item they are bidding on......Billy...

simplybob Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I know ebay annoys me like that sometimes, because with the auctions people usually end up paying the same and sometimes more than the cost of the product brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hang on, isn't the 8XX on Morgans for a tenner exactly the same barring the single shot button (same internals) and can be flash right up to 9XX level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychobilly Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Unfortunately it will happen... Billy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB80 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wow, I just ordered one from Morgans, with the flash firmware and eyepiece adaptor plus Euro shipping and it came to 30 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themos Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think this ebay item includes UV/IR filter which could easily be more than £35, alone. As an all-in solution, it's not THAT bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wow, I just ordered one from Morgans, with the flash firmware and eyepiece adaptor plus Euro shipping and it came to 30 quid.Fair price for the full kit ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychobilly Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Morgans sell A UV/IR blocking filter for £12.98...https://morgancomputers.co.uk/shop/detail.asp?ProductID=6342&CategoryID=556&SubCategoryID=But not all UV/IR filters are created equal...Billy...

JB80 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Fair price for the full kit ready to go.I thought so, even considering the postage was £9. I decided not to get the IR filter because I recently bought a Baader one so didn't see the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheThing Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 With a webcam, I don't think it really matters too much. A £12 IR filter will be as good as one three times the price.Let's face it, someone is paying thru the nose for this item! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
