Buying Cameras on Ebay

[Jay Young]

So, I need to vent.

 

I have been an Ebay user since it's inception. Now, there are many rules you must follow. That's fine, and I follow them and have never had a problem. I am just about sick and tired to the point of quitting Ebay all together over these damned titles people come up with.

 

Examples: (I simply searched for RED in Cameras)

 

35MM MITCHELL MK II 110 SYNC MOTOR RED

Arri Arriflex Red One Camera PL Mount Rubber Back Cover

LOMO 250mm f2.8 lens in ARRI PL mount RED Arriflex Arri

 

None of the above will work with or are in fact a RED camera. These idiots are just throwing buzzwords around to get hits on their search. This makes me report the auction because it's suppose to be a big no-no. However, there are SO MANY people doing it, it gets really frustrating when your trying to find that 2-perf techniscope ground glass for your 16mm eyemo, only to find out that when you type all that into the search, you get some collector barbie doll.

 

Quit with the extra buzzwords in your auction titles!
