I'm not familiar with Ebay


clearly.

but as far as I can see both cameras come
from the same Brooklyn site. How can you tell otherwise?


look again.

the first is from brazil and the second is from mexico. both sellers
joined ebay last week. the description text is the same for both, other
than one using line breaks.

it screams scam.


Thank you for your most helpful advice. Neither I or CtrlF can find
the word Brazil or Mexico on that page. Nor does my poking around the
corners of those pages. What I did find was the cameras were being:-

"Sold By
redtagcamera(76483)
100% Positive feedback"

.... and:-

"Based in United States, redtagcamera has been an eBay member since
Aug 27, 2007"

If nospam won't help me can anyone else tell me where the
advertisements say anything about Brazil or Mexico?
